High FODMAP
Chili Garlic Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Chili garlic sauce blends crushed chilies, fresh garlic, vinegar, and sugar into a spicy and tangy paste. Garlic introduces concentrated fructans that remain problematic even after fermentation and oil preservation. Added sugar and vinegar components increase fructose and acidity, which may further irritate sensitive digestive tracts. Commercial versions sometimes include wheat or onion powder to thicken texture and standardize batch consistency. Limiting intake and verifying ingredient simplicity ensures safer consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Substitute traditional sauce with a homemade blend using chili oil, rice vinegar, and a small amount of glucose for balanced heat. Avoid heating directly over high flame to prevent sugar caramelization and preserve consistent spice intensity. Store in the refrigerator with the lid tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture intrusion.
