Granulated Sugar and the low FODMAP diet
Granulated sugar consists of refined sucrose crystals that deliver consistent sweetness without fermentation triggers. The purification process removes all fructans, lactose, and polyols completely. Pure sucrose digests predictably in the upper gastrointestinal tract without bacterial interference. IBS protocols classify it as completely safe and universally tolerated.

What can change the result?
Granulated sugar provides precise measurement accuracy essential for consistent baking results across all recipes. Store it airtight in cool environments to prevent clumping and maintain free-flowing consistency. Use it confidently as a baseline sweetener for cakes, cookies, and confections without digestive consequences. Verify pure sourcing to ensure no added high-FODMAP bulking agents compromise safety.
