Lemon Tart
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Lemon tart features a wheat pastry shell filled with thick lemon curd. The crust introduces fructans, while the curd center remains low in FODMAPs. The butter in the shell contributes minimal lactose depending on the recipe. Careful crust verification and slice sizing ensure this tart stays manageable. Most individuals can safely enjoy a standard piece when wheat intake is monitored.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The primary FODMAP trigger comes from the wheat flour used in the tart pastry shell. You can safely lower the impact by using certified low-FODMAP flour and pure lemon filling. Always verify that curd does not contain added wheat thickeners or high-fructose stabilizers. Chill tart thoroughly before cutting to support cleaner slices and easier portion control.
