Low FODMAP
Millet
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Millet is a small-seeded ancient grain celebrated for its gentle digestion and mild flavor. It remains naturally low FODMAP and serves as a reliable carbohydrate alternative to wheat. Cooking ratios require adequate liquid to soften the protective outer hull effectively. Stirring frequently during simmering prevents clumping while ensuring even hydration throughout grains. Pairing with lean proteins creates balanced nutrition for IBS management.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Millet retains soluble fiber that supports regular digestion when introduced gradually to your daily routine. Toasting dry grains briefly before boiling enhances nutty flavor without affecting carbohydrate composition significantly. Cooling cooked millet completely increases resistant starch that benefits beneficial gut bacteria effectively. Freezing cooked portions in single servings prevents texture degradation while maintaining precise portion control.
