Fig Paste and the low FODMAP diet
Fig paste is blended dried figs transformed into a smooth, spreadable sweetener for baking. The dehydration and blending processes concentrate fructose and sorbitol to problematic levels. Even processed forms retain sugar ratios that trigger rapid colonic fermentation. Standard fig paste remains highly incompatible with elimination phase protocols.

What can change the result?
Replace fig paste with low-FODMAP date-free spreads or certified syrup alternatives for safe moisture safely. Verify commercial sourcing to ensure complete absence of added inulin or chicory root derivatives. Store it refrigerated to prevent texture degradation and preserve natural sweetness during usage. Substituting carefully ensures binding success while maintaining digestive comfort.
