The useful answer

Royal Icing and the low FODMAP diet

Royal icing combines powdered sugar, egg whites, and extracts into hard decorative coatings. The sucrose foundation digests efficiently without introducing problematic fermentation triggers safely. Meringue powder or fresh whites provide structure without digestive interference. Verified icing remains compatible with low-FODMAP protocols when sourced correctly.
