Speculoos Cookie
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Speculoos cookies combine wheat flour, sugar, butter, and warm spices into crisp baked shapes. The wheat flour introduces fructans, while butter and spices remain low in FODMAPs. The dense texture delivers concentrated grains per piece. Careful portion sizing allows most individuals to enjoy a few cookies safely. Commercial varieties sometimes add polyol sweeteners or high-fructose glazes.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The fructan load in speculoos cookies comes directly from the standard wheat flour. You can safely lower the impact by using certified gluten-free baking flour and pure cane sugar. Always verify commercial packs do not contain artificial sweeteners that spike fermentation. Store in tins to maintain crispness and prevent moisture softening that increases chew time.
