Is lemon-lime soda low FODMAP?

Lemon-lime soda is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Regular lemon-lime soda is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, so a full can carries excess fructose. The sugar-free version uses aspartame or sucralose and is the low-FODMAP swap, though the bubbles add gas for some. This is what "lemonade" means in the UK and Australia.
