Compound Butter and the low FODMAP diet
Compound butter softens butter to blend herbs, spices, or citrus for a flavorful finishing spread. Pure butter contains negligible lactose and zero fermentable carbohydrates, making it highly compatible with digestive management. The primary digestive risk comes from added onion powder, garlic, or wheat-based stabilizers used in commercial rolls. Those following strict low-FODMAP protocols should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into meals. Homemade preparation with fresh herbs ensures full transparency and predictable tolerance.
