Is ginger ale low FODMAP?

Ginger ale is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Although ginger itself is low FODMAP, most ginger ale is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, so a typical can carries excess fructose. A diet ginger ale, or a small glass, is the lower-FODMAP choice.
