What to know about whole wheat pasta

Whole wheat pasta is marketed as the healthy upgrade, but for a trigger diary it is still wheat: high in gluten and, because it keeps the fructan-rich bran, actually higher in fructans than white pasta. So the switch people make for fibre can backfire if wheat or FODMAPs are what set off their symptoms.

Watch for

  • Contains gluten, so it is no safer than white pasta for coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity
  • High in fructans, and the retained bran can push the FODMAP load above that of refined white pasta
  • A frequent bloating trigger precisely because people eat more of it thinking whole grain is gentler
  • Poor for SIBO, as the fermentable wheat carbs feed overgrowth
