Is Satay sauce Low FODMAP?

Serving thresholds

Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.

Which FODMAPs are in satay sauce?

During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating satay sauce depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Standard satay combines peanut and coconut milk with garlic, shallot and soy — the garlic and shallot push fructans above cutoff at typical dipping serves.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Peanut + coconut milk + soy sauce + garlic + shallot; fructan load from garlic and shallot above cutoff at standard dipping serves. Recipes vary.
• Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.

Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
