Madeline–there are many Schar products that are okay and well tolerated by my low FODMAP diet following clients–but I would not eat one with apple fiber.

First of all, thank you so much for your blog. It is helping me out a ton. I was wondering if you can help me with this: I bought gluten free bread from Schar, pane Casereccio. Now, I think I’m getting bloated after eating it (and pain). I read that you recommend that not all gluten-free bread is low fodmap because of additives. I read ‘apple fiber’ in the ingredient list. Since apple is high fodmap, does that mean I can’t have the bread? It doesn’t list the amount of grams used (I send a e-mail to schar, hope to hear back).

Here is the list of ingredients:
Ingredients: Water, maize starch, rice flour, buckwheat flour, rice syrup, apple fibre, rice starch, vegetable oil, soy protein isolate, sugar, salt, thickener: hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, yeast, acidulant, tartaric acid.

Would be very helpful! It’s a bit difficult to eat gluten-free and low fodmap here in Serbia unfortunately, so it would be such a bummer if Schar products are not a solution!

Hi Martie,
My clients seem to tolerate the Go Macro peanut butter bars and Nature’s Valley crunchy peanut butter granola bars best. They are not perfect–but I haven’t had a client have issue with them. Try to hydrate adequately on the plane too. It’s recommended to drink about 6-8 ounces of water per hour–you might not need that much but stay on top of your water intake! Flying is very dehydrating.

thanks for writing the blogs.

I am going on a trip which includes 13hr flying, can you recommend a protein/energy bar for this or any other time, I am not sure what to take as far
as food for this anyways.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Martie
