Moderate FODMAP
Orange Marmalade
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Orange marmalade cooks citrus peel and juice with sugar and pectin to create a thick and bittersweet spread. Citrus peel contains negligible fermentable carbohydrates, but added sugar significantly increases overall carbohydrate load. Traditional recipes rarely include high-FODMAP additives, but commercial versions may introduce concentrated fruit juices. Those managing ITS should verify that no high-fructose thickeners were introduced during bottling. Strict portion control improves overall digestive comfort.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Choose marmalades that explicitly list oranges, sugar, and pectin only to avoid hidden apple or pear juice exposure. Spread a thin layer onto gluten-free crackers instead of thick coating to reduce sugar load. Store in a cool pantry and consume within expiration window to preserve bright citrus flavor and prevent mold.
