Is Sweet and sour 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 sweet and sour sauce?

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

Good to know

Sweet and sour combines sugar/HFCS with pineapple juice and ketchup — fructose load crosses cutoff at standard serves.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Sugar/HFCS + pineapple juice + ketchup + vinegar; concentrated fructose above cutoff at standard dipping serves.
• 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.
