You're so awesome for asking these questions and for helping your DD get healthy, kol hakavod!
1. I have gone both ways (I'm the one on the diet). I have made multiple of things, mine the FODMAP way and regular for the rest of the family. It was a pain. It's easier to make a larger quantity of low FODMAP food. You are going to need to find new recipes. Chances are, you are used to cooking with gluten (pasta, bread crumbs, baked goods, etc). You really don't want to make a recipe twice, one with gluten and once without, that's a lot of extra work.
2. I use salt and pepper in everything, and a lot of herbs and spices are OK.
3. Yes many commercial products are off limits. I have lost weight and feel much healthier because I am eating so much cleaner. But meal prep takes advanced planning or I will be left with nothing to eat in the house.
4. Buy "The Complete Low-FODMAP diet" by Shepherd and Gibson.
Have your daughter do breath testing for lactose and fructose. I was able to add regular milk and other foods back into my diet by obtaining normal results on these tests. It was worth the few hours of my time.
Your chizzuk will come from your DD feeling better IY"H.

Saute diced carrots and sliced celery as a base (or any veggies you're allowed). It gives nice flavor.
Use kosher salt instead of table salt for more depth (you'll need extra because it's lighter).
Play around with other flavors like curry, cumin, ground mustard, fresh ginger, etc.

I used a lot of herbs on the diet- basil, cilantro, dill etc. nutritional yeast, preserved lemons, olives and roasted red pepper also add a lot of flavor.

My DD is starting this diet, too. How's it going, OP? I'm feeling super overwhelmed!
Did you find anything to use instead of challah?
