*If you are following a Low FODMAP diet then check your wrap for other Low FODMAP ingredients – the wrap in the image contains concentrated fruit juice of unknown source so it is unsuitable for the Low FODMAP diet. You can also serve the filling on other gluten-free breads such as gluten-free pitta, gluten-free ciabatta or gluten-free french bread for example.
