Is this product suitable for people with sensitive digestion? — Glazed Cookie "Cherry Brownie", 50 g - Bombbar

The product contains several ingredients to which some people have an individual reaction. First, dietary fibre: oligofructose and inulin are prebiotics and, when eaten in noticeable amounts, can cause bloating or discomfort in people whose gut is sensitive to fermentable fibres (FODMAPs).

Second, the sweeteners used instead of sugar are also tolerated differently: some of them can have a laxative effect when consumed in excess. If you have previously noticed a reaction to sugar substitutes, it makes sense to start with a small portion.

Third, the product is based on milk and whey protein, so it is not suitable for people with lactose intolerance or cow's milk protein allergy. It also contains soya lecithin, liquid whole egg and oat flour (oats are among the gluten-containing cereals, so the product is not suitable for people with coeliac disease), and the packaging states that it may contain traces of peanuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios.

If you have chronic digestive conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take medicines, it is advisable to consult a specialist before adding any functional foods to your diet.
