Creamy Horseradish
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Creamy horseradish combines grated root with dairy, vinegar, and sometimes sugar for a pungent and rich condiment. Pure horseradish contains zero fermentable carbohydrates and remains highly compatible with sensitive digestive systems. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic, or wheat thickeners to mellow heat and improve shelf stability. The combined dairy and aromatic triggers make standard servings challenging for active IBS management. Selecting simple ingredients and verifying labels ensures predictable tolerance.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Blend freshly grated horseradish with lactose-free mayonnaise and a splash of white vinegar for controlled digestibility. Avoid commercial jars that list onion powder or garlic extract near the top of the ingredient panel to prevent unnecessary triggers. Store in the refrigerator with the lid tightly sealed to maintain pungency and prevent moisture absorption.
