Is Flour, spelt, wholemeal Low FODMAP?
Flour, spelt, wholemeal is High FODMAP. This serving size contains high amounts of FODMAPs. Intake may trigger symptoms if you malabsorb any of the indicated FODMAPs. Products made using spelt flour without additional processing (pasta, spelt flakes, bread) tend to be high in FODMAPs. Additional processing that reduces the FODMAP content involves using the spelt flour in a traditional sourdough bread. Traditional sourdough bread involves a long fermentation of the dough using sourdough culture which further breaks down the FODMAPs. Sourdough spelt bread tends to be low in FODMAPs. To be confident of the final FODMAP content, the final product should be tested for total FODMAP content.
