What to know about semolina
Semolina is the coarse, golden flour milled from durum wheat that gives dried pasta its bite and semolina pudding its body. Because it is pure wheat it is high in gluten and high in fructans, so it hits two triggers at once: it is off limits on a gluten-free diet and it is a high FODMAP food that commonly causes bloating, gas and cramping. It also carries a moderate amount of nickel, which matters if you get systemic nickel reactions.
Watch for
- High in gluten, so semolina is unsafe for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity whether it is in pasta, pudding or a dusting on bread
- High in fructans and rated high FODMAP, a frequent cause of bloating and gas even in people who tolerate gluten fine
- Moderate nickel content, worth noting if you flare from systemic nickel
