Horseradish with IBS

Status: Allowed

Horseradish is classified as well tolerated for IBS based on current dietary assessments.

With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: low FODMAP; no problematic main ingredient. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
