In reply to Sharon. It should be--it's mostly gelatin and sugar.

Is the Jello brand okay on Low FODMAP. Not pudding but jello itself

In reply to katescarlata. I actually like the lighter maple syrups for flavor.

In reply to Pati. Personally, since endurance exercise is associated with enhanced gut permeability--I recommend a reduction in intense types of exercise until the GI symptoms settle and SIBO is eradicated.

Kate, I was diagnosed with SIBO (methane) and have constipation. I’m also a runner but am wondering if I should cut back on mileage during treatment. I haven’t tried riflaxin yet but will soon. I’m cutrently on an herbal treatment. Can you run, be a FODMAPer and treat sibo at the same time?

In reply to Brad Cooper. Hi Kate - circling back on this from last year. Looking for ideas for Ironman- specifically a couple of gel options on the run. Any suggestions? And was leaning toward using Skratch drink on the bike. May try the cliff blocks you mentioned above to supplement. Any other ideas? Thanks!!

No problem. You’re very kind Kate. Here are the ingredients:
Maltodextrin, Water, Fructose, Peanut Butter (Peanuts, Salt), Leucine, Potassium Citrate, Valine, Sodium Citrate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Calcium Carbonate, Sea Salt, Histidine, Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Fumaric Acid, Calcium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), D-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Pectin Powder, Isoleucine, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Ginger Extract, Chamomile Extract.

One of the lists on FODMAP I have includes both Fructose and Maltodextrin, which means 2 of the first 3 ingredients may cause issues. If this option is not a good choice, any suggestions of gels that would work to add about 100 kcal to the UCAN I currently use for marathons? Target marathon time 2:40, so not needing a ton of calories. But I understand more than 1 scoop of UCAN may be susceptible to fermentation in stomach, so limiting that option to a single scoop.

Thank you!!

Hi Brad, I am happy to review the GU peanut butter gel option–I tried to check on their site–but couldn’t find the ingredients–I am sure they are there–just don’t have time to search around. Feel free to send in–and I can give you my best guess. Almonds are allowed on the low FODMAP but the cut off is just 10 almonds or about 1 TB of the almond butter….not too much.

Kate,

I stumbled across your site and appreciate your input. I’m a (somewhat) older runner (48) who’s shooting for a sub 2:40 marathon but continue to have stomach issues mid-race. Already gluten free, I’m now following the broader FODMAPs strategy. Two questions – it appears the GU Peanut Butter gel option would fit with the FODMAP strategy, correct? And then with almonds – I see them on some FODMAP lists but not on others? I noticed they are listed on your “grocery” list as something to have a little of, so I’m confused. Some of the alternatives to sports gels include Almond-based options…

Thanks!
