High FODMAP Snacks

Are Sugar-free sweets High FODMAP?

No. Sugar-free sweets are high FODMAP, mainly from polyols.

Sugar-free sweets are high in polyols (sorbitol, mannitol or xylitol) which are slow to absorb and draw water into the bowel, making them a frequent IBS trigger even at small portions.
