Parsnip and IBS: what to know
Whole parsnip sizes vary, so record the raw gram weight if you are comparing meals. A prepared salad or cooked mixed dish includes ingredients beyond the parsnip itself.

Gut-friendly ways to eat parsnip
Weigh the raw parsnip before roasting or adding it to soup. Keep its amount separate from carrot and white potato when using a mixed tray.
