Seitan

Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.

Seitan offers wheat gluten protein widely used as meat substitute in vegan diets. High in fructans due to wheat protein base, making it unsuitable for low-FODMAP diets. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic extracts, or heavy binders. Avoiding completely ensures complete dietary compliance safely. Substituting with firm tofu or tempeh maintains protein safely.
