Kebab
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Traditional kebabs feature marinated meat grilled on skewers alongside vegetables like peppers and onions. Marinades universally incorporate garlic, onion powder, or yogurt to tenderize and flavor the meat. While grilling adds desirable smokiness, it does not break down the fructans or lactose present in the coating. Restaurant preparations prioritize bold flavor, making cross-contamination and concentrated seasoning highly likely.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Plain grilled meat without marinade remains the safest option for strict low-FODMAP adherence. Requesting marinades made only with olive oil, lemon juice, and dried herbs prevents fructan exposure. Separating the meat from grilled onions during serving reduces overall carbohydrate load. Preparing skewers at home guarantees complete control over seasoning ingredients.
