Flax Seeds and the low FODMAP diet
Flax seeds contain balanced omega fatty acids and soluble fiber that support gentle digestive health. The mucilaginous coating passes efficiently through the small intestine without triggering fermentation. Ground forms integrate seamlessly into batters while maintaining safe carbohydrate profiles. Sensitive individuals rely on them for structure and nutrition without FODMAP triggers.
