Status: Not recommended
Tzatziki is classified as not recommended for IBS based on current dietary assessments. Dips and sauces vary greatly in composition – from high in salt to high in fat – and can affect the overall nutritional quality of a meal. With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: garlic contains fructans. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
