Roasted Tomato Basil Soup

Just when we thought we had the celiac thing down pat, Will discovers that he is still having serious problems with painful gas and bloating, so we researched some more.
He has narrowed down the foods that were causing the most discomfort and it fits with the low FODMAPs diet, so after consultation with his doctor, here we go!
For six weeks, Will has eliminated tree fruits, onions, cabbage, beans, honey and a variety of other things we create on our farm. Hopefully we will find that he can still eat some of these in small quantities at the end of the test period. At day 12, he is significantly more comfortable.
