Status: Not recommended
Bagel is classified as not recommended for IBS based on current dietary assessments. Baked goods typically contain flour and leavening agents, with varying amounts of carbohydrates, fibre and fat depending on the recipe. With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: wheat contains fructans. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
