Well indigenous use of grains and legumes involves fermentation (eg sourdough, fermented tofu, miso), which are mostly no longer done at scale. Bread that uses yeast instead of sourdough starter is often not fermented long enough to get rid of most FODMAPs (4h fermentation seems to be recommended, but this is reduced for cost reasons).
I believe that indigenous vegetarian diets, such as the traditional Indian vegetarian diet, before ghee was replaced by industrially produced seed oil, is one good option... as is foods like Sushi, where you combine fish/meat with grains.
