Hi Kate,
I had recently read an article about corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup and how the food industry has been getting away with labeling hfcs as corn syrup. Is there truth to this? In the earlier days of this diet I made rice krispy treats for my small sweet tooth. I still continue to have minor digestive issues despite cutting out even corn syrup. Might be some other item that is supposedly safe but is not safe for me (ex. cantaloupe) What do you think about the corn syrup v hfcs?

In reply to Marilyn. HI Marilyn, chocolate liquor should not be an issue from FODMAP standpoint--especially in such small amounts. I would work with your dietitian to assess why you had a bad reaction.

Please be aware that number 5 on the list, Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups, and not FODMAPer friendly–they contain chocolate liquor. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way with a bad reaction.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were my favorite, too! I was happy to read on another website to try Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups – so I did! They’re good and seem to agree with me. At first I bought the regular size cups (http://shop.justins.com/Dark-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cups/p/JNB-000254&c=Justins@PeanutButterCups) at a local health food store. Then I found the mini-cups (http://shop.justins.com/Mini-Dark-Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Cups/p/JNB-003974&c=Justins@PeanutButterCups) at our Sprouts Market and I think I like them better because I won’t overdo it. 🙂

In reply to Bonnie Hilton. Ha! Not sure tigernut flour has been tested. It appears to be more high in starch. I will try to see if its inline to be tested.

Hi, I’m wondering if you could do a post on blanched vs skin on almonds. In the app almonds and almond meal have very different servings, and different FODMAPs, but I can’t figure out if this is due to the skin/blanching or if it’s an error.

This post is great — and the candy list is helpful. Some of our favorites are on that list (and some we hadn’t thought to try)! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly, I’ve already discovered that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups don’t seem to bother my gut. Lol.

I’m seeing posts for low FODMAP recipes that include tigernut flour. Are you familiar with it? Is it a good choice for low FODMAP?

Thanks.
