High FODMAP
Mole Poblano
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Mole poblano combines tomatoes, chilies, chocolate, and nuts into a thick and savory sauce base. Tomatoes and peppers remain low in FODMAPs, but traditional recipes rely heavily on onion and garlic for flavor foundation. Commercial jarred versions frequently add wheat thickeners, cashew paste, or high-fructose sweeteners to stabilize texture. The combination of fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides makes standard restaurant portions challenging for sensitive digestion. Careful recipe modification ensures safer consumption without sacrificing authentic taste.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Prepare the base using tomato puree, ginger seasoning, and verified low-FODMAP cacao powder to eliminate allium triggers completely. Use pumpkin seed alternatives to maintain richness without introducing galacto-oligosaccharides. Simmer gently for twenty minutes to allow spices to infuse while preventing separation and texture breakdown.
