High FODMAP
Prune Paste
Avoid during the elimination phase of the 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.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
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.
