Is Ketchup Moderate FODMAP?
Only in small portions. Ketchup is moderate FODMAP (excess fructose).
Ketchup is moderate FODMAP - tolerated by some at small portions and trigger-prone for others. The trigger is excess fructose, a simple sugar that draws water into the gut and feeds gas-producing bacteria. One tablespoon per meal is usually safe.
