High FODMAP
Satay
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Satay features skewered protein marinated in a sweet-spicy peanut or soy sauce blend before grilling. Traditional marinades often incorporate garlic, shallots, and sometimes onion juice for depth. The accompanying peanut sauce usually contains crushed peanuts, tamarind, sugar, and additional garlic or shallot paste. While the protein itself is safe, the marinade and dipping sauce drive the overall FODMAP impact.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Requesting grilled meat without the traditional sauce and serving it alongside safe peanut butter alternatives reduces triggers. Limiting sauce intake to one tablespoon minimizes hidden fructan exposure from shallots and garlic. Homemade satay using tamari, garlic-infused oil, and certified peanut butter offers reliable control. Always verify whether restaurant sauces use onion powder as a thickening agent.
