Biscotti
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Biscotti are twice-baked Italian cookies traditionally made with almonds, wheat flour, and minimal moisture. The combination of wheat flour and almonds introduces both fructans and GOS to the recipe. The dense, crunchy texture means that even small pieces deliver a concentrated FODMAP load. Careful portion management is essential to prevent unexpected digestive flare-ups. Many sensitive individuals find these cookies challenging during strict elimination phases.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The almond content and wheat base create a dual FODMAP impact that requires careful monitoring. You can make a gentler version by replacing almonds with low-FODMAP nuts like macadamias and using a rice-based flour blend. Store purchased biscotti properly to maintain freshness, as stale baked goods can increase digestive irritation for sensitive individuals. Always read ingredient labels carefully, as commercial versions often contain added honey or dried fruit.
