Carob
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Carob is a naturally sweet powder derived from roasted seed pods of the carob tree. It serves as a caffeine-free chocolate alternative with moderate fermentable carbohydrate content. While nutritious, consuming large amounts can overwhelm sensitive digestive systems. Careful measurement ensures enjoyable flavor without triggering symptoms.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Diluting carob powder in oat or almond milk spreads fermentable sugars across a larger liquid volume for easier digestion. Always choose unsweetened varieties to avoid hidden high-fructose additives that compound digestive stress. Blending small amounts into low-FODMAP smoothies provides natural sweetness without requiring excess sugar. Tracking your response after consumption helps determine your personal threshold for safe inclusion.
