The useful answer

Mojo Sauce and the low FODMAP diet

Mojo sauce blends citrus, garlic, oil, and herbs to create a bright and tangy marinade base. Citrus and oil contain zero fermentable carbohydrates, but added alliums significantly increase fructan load during soaking. Commercial preparations frequently use high-fructose corn syrup or wheat thickeners to enhance adhesion and extend shelf life. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before marinating proteins to prevent overlapping triggers. Diluting with water and strict timing ensures predictable tolerance.

Preparation & context

What can change the result?

Combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, and a pinch of salt to create a gut-friendly base that eliminates garlic triggers. Avoid adding honey or high-fructose sweeteners during preparation to maintain predictable carbohydrate density. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and discard used marinade after raw contact to prevent bacterial growth.
