Al Pastor and the low FODMAP diet
Al pastor features thinly sliced pork marinated in pineapple, achiote, and spices before vertical roasting. Traditional marinades incorporate pineapple for natural tenderization and balanced sweetness. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic, and sugar blends for consistent flavor. The caramelized exterior concentrates fructose and alliums during cooking.

What can change the result?
Requesting al pastor prepared without spice pastes prevents hidden allium exposure effectively. Using pineapple juice marinades without added sugar or onion ensures lowest trigger levels. Limiting portion size alongside fresh cilantro and onion-free salsa helps manage intake. Preparing al pastor at home guarantees complete control over marination ingredients.
