Is spelt flour, white low FODMAP?

Spelt flour, white is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Sifted/white safe to ~2/3 cup (100g); wholemeal is high).

Sifting removes the fructan-rich bran, so white sifted spelt flour is low FODMAP at about 2/3 cup, a useful lower-fructan baking flour. Wholemeal spelt flour keeps the bran and is high. The final baked item depends on what else goes in.
