Lemon Butter Sauce and the low FODMAP diet
Lemon butter sauce simmers butter, lemon juice, and herbs into a bright and glossy finishing liquid. Pure butter contains negligible lactose and zero fermentable carbohydrates, making the base highly digestible. Commercial variations occasionally add wheat flour or onion powder for thickening and shelf stability. Those following strict low-FODMAP protocols should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into meals. Preparing a simple reduction ensures full transparency and predictable tolerance.

What can change the result?
