The useful answer

Bannock and the low FODMAP diet

Bannock is a quick-cooking flatbread traditionally prepared using wheat flour, water, and sometimes baking powder. The wheat base introduces moderate fructan levels that require careful portion management. IBS-friendly adaptations often substitute half the flour with low-FODMAP starches. Pan-frying in a thin layer of safe oil creates a crisp exterior that many find satisfying. Monitoring your personal threshold helps determine safe serving sizes.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Replacing fifty percent of wheat flour with rice flour significantly lowers the overall fructan load without compromising texture. Cooking over medium heat prevents the exterior from burning while the interior finishes properly. Serve alongside stews or soups where dipping reduces overall portion consumption. Store leftovers wrapped tightly to maintain moisture and reheat gently before eating.
