Diet cola

Moderate FODMAP (Caution)Safe to 1 can (375ml)

Is diet cola low FODMAP?

Diet cola is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Safe to 1 can (375ml)).

Diet cola is sweetened with aspartame and acesulfame K, not sugar, but cola (including zero-sugar versions) tests higher in fructans, so the cola flavoring, not the sweetener, carries the load. The carbonation can add bloating too, so go by your own comfort.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Diet cola contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

Portion threshold

Fructans from the cola flavoring build past about 1 can. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.
