Is cranberry sauce low FODMAP?

Cranberry sauce is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (1 tbsp (20g)).

Homemade cranberry sauce from fresh berries and sugar is fine at about 1 tbsp; fresh cranberries are gentle in small amounts. Store versions vary with dried or concentrated berries and corn syrup, so check the label and keep the dollop modest.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Cranberry sauce contains excess fructose that can drive SIBO symptoms.

Portion threshold

The sugar and any dried or reconstituted berries push excess fructose up as the serve grows. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.
