What to know about tortellini
Tortellini is a double trigger: a wheat pasta shell wrapped around a cheese or meat filling. The wheat dough makes it high in gluten and high in fructan FODMAPs, and the classic ricotta-and-parmesan filling adds high lactose and high dairy protein. So unlike a plain pasta like spaghetti, tortellini hits gluten-sensitive, FODMAP-sensitive and dairy-sensitive people all at the same time, which is why a small bowl can cause outsized bloating or stomach upset.
Watch for
- Contains gluten in the wheat pasta shell, so it is off-limits for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
- High in fructans from the wheat dough, making it a strongly high-FODMAP food that commonly causes bloating and gas
- High in dairy protein and high in lactose from the cheese filling, a problem if you are lactose intolerant or react to casein
- High in lectins from the wheat, another reason it sits heavily for some people
