If you love bread so much and you’re on a low FODMAP diet, it might be hard for you to say goodbye to bread. As most breads contain wheat that is high in fructans, it is considered high in FODMAP —— thus, one needs to have it under control to prevent triggering Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Still, when strolling your carts around at Woolworths, it can be baffling what bread to take into your basket; need not worry, you may check these bread and still enjoy the fluffy and milky goodness of wheat:
Disclaimer: Though these breads may contain wheat; they can be considered low-FODMAP when you have them controlled. The most efficient thing is to have them in 1 serving size or 24g to be exact.
