Sweet chili sauce

High FODMAP (Avoid)1 tbsp (20g)

Is sweet chili sauce low FODMAP?

Sweet chili sauce is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Bottled Thai sweet chili sauce is built on garlic and a lot of sugar, so it stacks fructans and fructose in a normal dip. A homemade version using garlic-infused oil keeps a 1 tbsp serve safe, and a few brands make a certified low-FODMAP sweet chili sauce.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Sweet chili sauce contains fructans, excess fructose that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

Watch this one for ISO (hydrogen sulfide overproduction). Sweet chili sauce contains sulfur compounds, and ISO patterns can be more sensitive to these, especially in larger servings.
