Spaghetti
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Spaghetti are long thin wheat pasta strands crafted from durum semolina for versatile cooking. They deliver moderate fructan levels that require careful portion tracking during sensitive periods. The uniform geometry increases sauce retention, sometimes leading to larger consumption than intended. Cooking until al dente preserves starch structure that supports comfortable digestion. Pairing with light oil-based preparations prevents heavy fermentation triggers.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Long wheat strands require generous boiling water to prevent clumping while ensuring even hydration throughout preparation. Tossing cooked noodles immediately with oil prevents sticking while creating a protective barrier in the gut. Weighing dry portions ensures consistent fructan tracking across weekly meal rotations without guesswork during planning. Freezing cooked batches in single servings prevents texture degradation while maintaining portion discipline.
