Is cornbread low FODMAP?

Cornbread is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Cornmeal is low FODMAP, but traditional cornbread mixes in wheat flour for fructans and buttermilk for lactose, so the classic recipe is high. A version made with cornmeal plus a gluten-free flour and lactose-free milk is the gentle one.

FODMAP subgroups to watch
