High FODMAP
Fig Bar
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Fig bars feature a soft cookie crust filled with a thick date and fig paste. Figs contain high levels of fructose and polyols that rapidly exceed daily thresholds. The wheat crust adds fructans that compound the overall fermentable carbohydrate load. This combination frequently triggers rapid digestive discomfort for individuals following strict protocols. Careful fruit substitution or complete avoidance is recommended during elimination phases.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The high fructose and sorbitol levels in fig paste make this bar a major trigger during elimination. You can safely recreate this treat by substituting figs with low-FODMAP fruit preserves or mashed berries. Always verify the crust does not contain hidden honey or high-fructose syrups that increase fermentation. Store fig bars refrigerated, as chilled temperatures maintain crust firmness and prevent sticky filling spread.
