MGP’s Arise wheat protein isolates earn low FODMAP certification from Monash University
MGP Ingredients, Inc. 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.
