Whole Wheat Cereal Biscuits and IBS: what to know
In an IBS food record, writing one cereal biscuit is less precise than noting the dry weight when the low amount is smaller than a whole piece. Include any milk, fruit and sweetener in the meal description. The cereal's FODMAP rating is not a prediction of personal symptoms.
Gut-friendly ways to eat whole wheat cereal biscuits
Weigh a dry biscuit portion before adding milk or breaking it into a bowl. Include crumbs from the packet in that weight. If choosing another cereal because this small reference does not fit your breakfast, use the relevant guide rather than assuming a wholegrain label implies a particular portion. Gluten-free corn flakes provide one separately checked comparison.
