Semen
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Semen refers to traditional Italian wheat semolina used primarily for pasta and couscous production. It delivers moderate fructan levels that accumulate during larger cooking portions. Processing does not significantly reduce FODMAP compounds before final preparation. IBS management requires careful portion tracking during elimination phases. Substituting with rice-based alternatives provides similar applications without problematic compounds.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Semolina processing preserves wheat fructan density that requires strict measurement during sensitive recovery cooking. Combining with rice flour reduces overall concentration while maintaining structural functionality for homemade dough preparation. Cooking until al dente preserves starch integrity that some find easier to digest during bowel recovery. Freezing prepared dough portions prevents texture degradation while maintaining precise serving sizes.
