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
