Maltitol and the low FODMAP diet
Maltitol is a sugar alcohol derived from hydrogenated maltose that passes through digestion with partial absorption. The moderate fermentation potential prevents significant osmotic shifts during normal consumption ranges. It provides sugar-like sweetness that remains compatible with sensitive systems. Bakers rely on it for safe candy and chocolate applications.

Group information helps organize reintroduction challenges and possible stacking.
What can change the result?
Maltitol crystallizes similarly to sucrose, making it ideal for hard candies and coating formulations safely. Control cooking temperatures precisely 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 texture without compromising digestive safety.
