Prune Paste and the low FODMAP diet
Prune paste blends dried prunes into a concentrated natural sweetener with high sugar density. Dried prunes contain significant fructose and sorbitol that accumulate rapidly during pureeing and thickening. Commercial preparations rarely add artificial ingredients, but the concentrated polyol load remains challenging for sensitive digestion. Individuals managing IBS should approach prune-based sweeteners with caution and strict portion limits. Substituting with glucose-dominant syrups ensures predictable tolerance.

Portion size can change a FODMAP result. Treat this as the context for the range—not a personal tolerance guarantee.

What can change the result?
Consider swapping prune paste for brown rice syrup or maple syrup to significantly reduce sorbitol and fructose exposure. If using sparingly, blend with a high-fat base to slow intestinal transit and improve carbohydrate absorption. Always verify that commercial jars have not added onion powder or wheat-based fillers during processing.
