Ghee and the low FODMAP diet
Ghee is clarified butter with milk solids and water removed through slow heating and straining. The purification process eliminates nearly all lactose and casein proteins from the original dairy. This leaves behind pure butterfat that digests efficiently without fermentation triggers. Sensitive individuals tolerate it exceptionally well as a safe dairy alternative.

What can change the result?
Ghee provides high smoke point stability ideal for sauteing and baking without burning or imparting off-flavors. Store it in airtight glass jars at room temperature to maintain purity and prevent oxidation. Use it confidently as a butter substitute to achieve rich mouthfeel without digestive consequences. Verify sourcing to ensure complete milk solid removal during traditional clarification processes.
