A dry flour based product is disclosed which is made from ground and whole grains that are low in fructans, to be enriched with gluten (gluten flour or its substrates gliadin and glutenin). The gluten can range from 5.0 grams per 100 gram to 35.0grams per 100 grams. The ground grains that are included are those traditionally marketed as gluten free and include, either singly or in combination, rice flour, potato flour, buckwheat flour, com flour or other low fructans flour products. Added whole grains cart inelude quinoa, oats and seeds. The addition of gluten (as a flour) allows the resulting dough products made from the flour mix to act more like wheat based flours during cooking or baking, than currently available gluten free flours. The resulting low fructans product is a medicament useful in the management of irritable bowel syndrome, as individuals are thought to react to the fructans (carbohydrate) component of wheat, barley, and rye, not the protein gluten content. Therefore a product than contains gluten to provide elasticity and crustiness is more, palatable than a product devoid of gluten, and not consumed by choice, but only consumed because it is also low in fructans.
