What to know about fettuccine
Fettuccine is flat ribbon wheat pasta, usually made from semolina and often enriched with egg, so it carries gluten and is high in fructans. If wheat or FODMAPs are your triggers it can bother you, and because it is so often served in a creamy alfredo the dairy tends to get the blame while the pasta itself is a big part of the load.
Watch for
- Contains gluten from the wheat semolina, so it is off the table for coeliac disease and can trigger non-coeliac gluten sensitivity
- High in fructans, the wheat FODMAP behind bloating, gas and cramping a few hours after a pasta dinner
- Egg fettuccine adds egg to the mix, worth noting if egg is one of your own triggers
- A poor choice for SIBO, since the fermentable wheat carbs feed bacterial overgrowth
