Cookie
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Traditional cookies combine wheat flour, butter, sugar, and eggs into a wide variety of baked shapes. The wheat flour introduces fructans, while the butter contributes minimal lactose depending on the recipe. The baking process does not reduce fermentable carbohydrate content, leaving the full load intact. Most sensitive individuals can safely enjoy one to two standard cookies when portions are carefully measured. Commercial varieties often add high-fructose corn syrup or polyol alternatives that require immediate label verification.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The fructan content in cookies depends entirely on the standard wheat flour used in the dough. You can safely lower the impact by substituting certified gluten-free baking flour and verifying butter sources. Always check ingredient lists for hidden high-fructose sweeteners or artificial sugar alcohols that dramatically increase fermentation. Store cookies in airtight containers to prevent staleness, which can independently slow digestion and increase bloating potential.
