Apricot Preserves and the low FODMAP diet
Apricot preserves concentrate cooked apricots with sugar to create a thick and sweet spread. Apricots naturally contain excess fructose and sorbitol, which accumulate significantly during the boiling and reduction process. Traditional jam-making methods also add lemon juice and pectin, both of which remain low-FODMAP and aid in setting the mixture. Commercial brands sometimes blend in apple juice or honey, further increasing the fermentable carbohydrate profile. Careful label verification and strict portion control are essential for digestive safety.

What can change the result?
Opt for preserves made primarily from strawberries or raspberries, which maintain lower fructose levels during processing. If using apricot preserves, limit intake to a thin layer and pair it with gluten-free crackers to buffer sugar absorption. Always choose varieties that rely on pure cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup to minimize digestive load.
