Gnocchi
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Gnocchi are soft dumplings traditionally crafted from potatoes and wheat flour. The wheat component delivers moderate fructan levels that require careful portion monitoring during meals. Commercial varieties frequently include ricotta or seasoning that complicate digestion. Preparing homemade versions with measured ingredients ensures predictable digestive outcomes. Boiling gently prevents disintegration while preserving tender texture for sensitive digestion.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Potato gnocchi relies on wheat flour for binding, meaning portion control remains essential for managing fructan exposure. Combining potato starch with rice flour dilutes wheat concentration while preserving soft texture. Searing cooked dumplings lightly in oil prevents sticking while enhancing flavor without increasing FODMAP load. Freezing uncooked portions on parchment sheets prevents clumping while preserving freshness for later preparation.
