Almond Extract and the low FODMAP diet
Almond extract is a concentrated flavoring agent made by extracting essential oils and aromatic compounds from bitter almonds. Pure extracts are distilled using alcohol, which strips away the protein and fiber responsible for digestive fermentation. The resulting liquid contains virtually no carbohydrates that could trigger IBS symptoms. You can safely add it to frostings, batters, and confections for authentic flavor.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.

No higher group listed
Group information helps organize reintroduction challenges and possible stacking.
What can change the result?
Always verify that your extract is pure and not almond paste or flavoring diluted with high-FODMAP additives. A little goes a long way, so start with a fraction of a teaspoon to gauge flavor intensity. You can store it in a cool, dark place to maintain potency over long periods. Substitute it freely for vanilla in recipes without worrying about digestive consequences.
