High FODMAP
Duck Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Duck sauce combines apricots, sugar, vinegar, and spices to create a sweet and tangy plum alternative. Dried fruit and concentrated sugar significantly elevate fructose and sorbitol levels during cooking. Commercial jars frequently add onion powder, wheat thickeners, or high-fructose corn syrup to standardize batch consistency. Those managing IBS should verify that no high-FODMAP additives were introduced during bottling. Diluting with broth or water helps lower carbohydrate density before serving.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Prepare a safer alternative using tomato paste blended with glucose syrup, rice vinegar, and certified low-FODMAP spices. Avoid store-bought varieties that list dried fruit or onion derivatives in the first three ingredients to minimize triggers. Apply a thin brushing application rather than heavy pouring to enjoy flavor while keeping fructose load within manageable limits.
