Semolina

High FODMAP (Avoid)High in fructans

Is semolina low FODMAP?

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

Semolina is milled from durum wheat, so it carries the same fructans that make regular wheat high FODMAP. Polenta, rice, or fine cornmeal are the low-FODMAP swaps for a porridge or a coating.
