Naan Bread
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Naan bread is a soft leavened flatbread traditionally baked in tandoor ovens. Wheat-based naan delivers moderate fructan levels that require careful portion tracking. Commercial varieties frequently include yogurt, milk, or garlic butter that compound triggers. Reading ingredient labels carefully helps you identify safer formulations during elimination. Preparing homemade versions without dairy additions significantly improves digestive comfort.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Yogurt enrichment introduces active lactose alongside wheat fructans, creating a challenging combination for sensitive digestion. Substituting with water-based dough recipes eliminates dairy complications while preserving traditional soft textures. Cooking on medium heat prevents burning while ensuring thorough starch gelatinization for better digestion. Freezing prepared naan in single layers prevents sticking while preserving flexibility for later serving.
