Status: Not recommended
Green Spelt is classified as not recommended for IBS based on current dietary assessments. Starchy foods like rice and pasta often form the carbohydrate base of a meal and vary widely in fibre content and glycaemic index. With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: spelt contains fructans. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
