Arise Wheat Protein Isolates from MGP receive low FODMAP certification
MGP Ingredients, Inc. has announced that its Arise wheat protein isolates have been certified as low FODMAP ingredients by Monash University. FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that are not completely digested or absorbed in the small intestine. When they pass into the large intestine, they are rapidly fermented by gut bacteria and produce gas, causing abdominal discomfort and other gastrointestinal symptoms.
MGP is a pioneer in achieving low FODMAP certification for a wheat protein isolate from the Melbourne, Australia-based University. The designation is significant because of recent findings that FODMAPs, rather than wheat gluten, may be the cause of symptoms for non-celiac gluten sensitivity and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in some individuals.
