The useful answer

Rice Malt Syrup and the low FODMAP diet

Rice malt syrup is produced by culturing cooked rice with enzymes that break starches into glucose. The resulting syrup contains almost entirely maltose and glucose without fructose or polyols. This composition prevents osmotic shifts and avoids feeding problematic colonic bacteria safely. It serves as a reliable sweetener for sensitive digestive systems.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Rice malt syrup behaves like honey in texture but lacks fermentation triggers that disrupt gut balance safely. Use it to sweeten beverages, glaze pastries, and stabilize candy temperatures during preparation. Its mild flavor allows other ingredients to shine while providing necessary moisture retention. Store it at room temperature and warm gently before measuring to improve pouring consistency.
