High FODMAP
Honey Barbecue Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Honey barbecue sauce combines tomato base, vinegar, honey, and spices for a sweet and tangy glaze. Honey and high-fructose corn syrup significantly elevate excess fructose levels during simmering and reduction. Commercial bottles frequently add onion powder, garlic extract, or wheat thickeners to standardize flavor across batches. Those managing IBS should verify that no high-FODMAP additives were introduced during bottling. Diluting with broth or water helps lower carbohydrate density before applying.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Prepare a safer alternative using tomato paste blended with brown rice syrup, cider vinegar, and certified low-FODMAP smoked paprika. Avoid commercial jars that list honey or onion derivatives in the first three ingredients to minimize triggers. Apply a thin brushing application during final cooking to enjoy flavor while keeping fructose load within manageable limits.
