Fig Jam and the low FODMAP diet
Fig jam cooks dried figs with sugar and lemon juice to create a thick and sweet spread. Dried figs contain significant fructose and sorbitol that accumulate rapidly during boiling and thickening. Traditional recipes rarely include high-FODMAP additives, but commercial versions may introduce pectin stabilizers or wheat-based thickeners. The concentrated polyol load often exceeds intestinal absorption thresholds during typical consumption. Strict limitation or recipe substitution ensures safer digestive outcomes.

What can change the result?
Consider swapping fig jam for strawberry preserves or certified low-FODMAP fruit spreads that utilize glucose-dominant sweeteners. If using fig jam occasionally, measure strictly and pair with high-protein foods to slow intestinal transit. Always verify that commercial jars have not added onion powder or high-fructose corn syrup during processing.
