The useful answer

Tahini Dressing and the low FODMAP diet

Tahini dressing blends sesame paste with oil, vinegar, lemon, and sometimes garlic for a rich salad topping. Pure tahini contains negligible fermentable carbohydrates and remains highly compatible with sensitive digestion. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic extract, or high-fructose sweeteners to balance bitterness and enhance flavor. Those managing IBS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into meal preparation. Preparing a homemade version ensures consistent symptom management.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Whisk natural tahini with lemon juice, olive oil, and water to create a smooth and gut-friendly base. Avoid commercial bottles that list onion powder or garlic extract near the top of the ingredient panel to maintain purity. Shake vigorously before each use and consume within three days to preserve vibrant color and prevent separation.
