Date syrup
High FODMAP (Avoid)Concentrated excess fructose
Is date syrup low FODMAP?
Date syrup is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.
Date syrup and date paste concentrate the excess fructose that already makes whole dates high FODMAP, so only a very small amount is low. Maple syrup or rice malt syrup are the freely-low pourable sweeteners.
FODMAP subgroups to watch
Date syrup contains excess fructose that can drive SIBO symptoms.
