Tomato Paste and the low FODMAP diet
Tomato paste concentrates cooked tomatoes by removing excess water to intensify flavor and umami. Pure tomato contains negligible fermentable carbohydrates and remains highly compatible with sensitive digestion. Commercial preparations occasionally add high-fructose corn syrup or wheat starch to adjust acidity and extend shelf life. Those managing ITS should verify ingredient simplicity before incorporating into recipes. Selecting transparent brands ensures predictable tolerance without digestive complications.

What can change the result?
Use tomato paste in equal measure to replace heavier sauces when preparing homemade glazes and stew bases. Avoid commercial tubes that list high-fructose corn syrup or onion derivatives near the top of the ingredient panel. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and cover exposed surface with oil to prevent oxidation.
