The great news for bread lovers is that sourdough bread is very easily digested for people who experience digestive symptoms.
Low FODMAP Sourdough Bread: Simple, Delicious, and Gut-Friendly
If you’ve heard that you need a special long-fermented loaf from an artisan bakery to enjoy sourdough on a low FODMAP diet, the good news is, you don’t!
Most low FODMAP sourdough bread options, including the ones from your regular grocery store, are generally well tolerated in portions of up to two slices per meal. That’s right—any type of sourdough is fine, whether it’s white, whole grain, or even made with a little added yeast.
Research (including Monash University’s testing) shows that standard sourdough bread is already low enough in FODMAPs for most people.
So, there’s no need to find fancy loaves or worry about proofing times. Get the one that you like and enjoy with confidence. Your gut will thank you!
Thank you for this information! For those in toronto, the Brick Street Bakery sourdough Bread is fermented for 2 days (I asked). Also, I make my own sourdough using a starter and overnight method. It takes a bit of practice, but is a skill well worth learning for those on this diet long term, as these breads can be pricey.
I would love to successfully make sourdough. My first load didn’t work out, but I’ll try again. Thanks for your comment!
