The useful answer

Turbinado Sugar and the low FODMAP diet

Turbinado sugar is minimally refined cane sugar retaining large golden crystals and subtle molasses. The limited processing preserves trace minerals without introducing problematic fermentation triggers. Pure sucrose composition digests predictably without overwhelming intestinal absorption mechanisms. Sensitive individuals incorporate it into baking with confidence.
