Crispbread with IBS

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Crispbread is classified as conditionally suitable 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: individual trigger, variabler FODMAP content. The assessment is supported by a broad evidence base.
