Low FODMAP
Lactitol
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Lactitol is a sugar alcohol derived from lactose that passes through digestion with minimal absorption. The low fermentation potential prevents significant osmotic shifts and gas production during metabolism. It provides gentle sweetness that remains compatible with sensitive digestive systems. Bakers rely on it for safe confectionery applications.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Lactitol dissolves efficiently in liquids, making it ideal for syrups and soft candy formulations safely. Adjust cooking temperatures slightly to prevent scorching during extended boiling phases. Store it airtight in dry environments to maintain free-flowing consistency and prevent clumping. Use it confidently to achieve sweetness without compromising digestive safety or FODMAP thresholds.
