Is wheat low FODMAP?
Wheat is low or high FODMAP depending on serving size. Wheat flour is generally high FODMAP; however, there are some wheat products with known safe serving sizes (for example: a slice of wheat bread). It is probably best to avoid wheat during the FODMAP elimination diet; afterwards, test tolerance carefully when symptoms are settled. Possible FODMAPs: GOS, Fructans
