The useful answer

Garlic Compound Butter and the low FODMAP diet

Garlic compound butter softens butter to blend minced garlic and herbs for a flavorful finishing spread. Pure butter contains negligible lactose and zero fermentable carbohydrates, making the base highly digestible. The primary digestive risk comes from concentrated fresh garlic that introduces significant fructan load per serving. Those following strict low-FODMAP protocols should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into meals. Substituting with infused oil ensures full transparency and predictable tolerance.
