I think lemons and limes are ok in low doses on the FODMAPS - adding those juices to your olive oil for a marinade seems like it would be a good option.

I'd just like to share that I take low dose naltrexone - it takes a special compounding pharmacy to put together such a low dose, and it's off-label use so you need a sympathetic and knowledgeable doctor to prescribe it, but it made a world of difference for my fibro pain over night. It works better than tramadol did for…
