*Don’t forget to preload on vegetables before you eat!
*Gluten-Free: Use chickpea or nut-based flour and find gluten-free panko crumbs
*FODMAP Swap: Marinara can be high in FODMAPs due to garlic and onion, season plain tomato sauce with basil, oregano, salt, pepper; keep tofu servings to under 1 cup and increase as tolerated; use garlic substitutes such as garlic-infused olive oil
