Taffy and the low FODMAP diet
Taffy blends boiled sugar, butter, and flavoring into chewy, pulled ropes. The sugar base remains low in FODMAPs, while butter contributes minimal lactose. The pulling process introduces air that can independently increase bloating. Careful flavor verification and portion control ensure this treat stays manageable. Commercial varieties sometimes add polyols or high-fructose syrups that require checking.

What can change the result?
The sugar and butter composition of traditional taffy keeps it well within low thresholds. You can safely prioritize simple flavors that avoid artificial polyol sweeteners or wheat starch. Always verify commercial pulls do not contain added high-fructose corn syrup binders. Chew slowly to minimize swallowed air that compounds digestive gas production during eating.
