Orange Blossom Water and IBS: what to know
If you are tracking IBS meals, note the recipe that contains orange blossom water, not only the flavour name. Rice puddings, cakes and drinks have different bases and additions. A low rating for the floral water does not settle the rating of milk, fruit, sweeteners or toppings used with it.
Gut-friendly ways to eat orange blossom water
Measure the flavouring before stirring it into a dessert mixture, following the recipe for flavour intensity. In a shared recipe, divide the amount across the finished portions and account for any extra used in a topping. For another floral preparation, consult rose water rather than transferring an assumed spoon size between entries.
