Ginger Snap
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Ginger snaps are crisp cookies made with wheat flour, molasses, and ground ginger. The wheat flour introduces fructans, while molasses and ginger remain low in FODMAPs. The crisp texture means each cookie delivers concentrated grains and sugar. Careful portion sizing allows most individuals to enjoy a few cookies without digestive flare-ups. Commercial varieties often add polyols or high-fructose syrups that require label checking.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The fructans in ginger snaps come directly from the standard wheat flour used in the recipe. You can safely recreate these treats using certified low-FODMAP gluten-free flour and pure cane sugar. Always verify commercial brands do not contain artificial sweeteners that spike fermentation. Store snaps in airtight tins to maintain crispness, as moisture absorption makes them chewier and slower to digest.
