Are you following the low fodmap diet? If so, read the fine-print below:

• If you are sensitive to lactose, use lactose free milk or your preferred milk alternative. A small serve of ricotta (40g) is low fodmap, but stick to 1 waffle per serve. Larger serving sizes should be avoided if you malabsorb lactose.

• Top with strawberries, raspberries (up to 30 berries) or ¼ cup of blueberries. Any more than 2 cherries per serve introduces fructose.
