Wheat and the Low FODMAP Diet

Wheat is a cereal grain that is grown globally and serves as a staple food in many diets. It is typically ground into flour, which is then used in a wide variety of foods such as bread, pasta, and baked goods. Wheat contains gluten, a protein that can cause issues for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is also high in FODMAPs, which are short-chain carbohydrates that can trigger symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
