High FODMAP
Sorbitol
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol derived from hydrogenated glucose that digests poorly. The low absorption rate delivers significant osmotic activity and fermentation triggers in the colon. Standard portions easily exceed tolerance thresholds for sensitive individuals. Pure sorbitol remains highly incompatible with IBS management protocols.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Replace sorbitol with verified low-FODMAP erythritol blends safely during candy and confectionery preparation. Always verify commercial sourcing to ensure complete absence of hidden polyol derivatives in products. Store it airtight to prevent moisture absorption and preserve crystalline structure during usage. Substituting carefully ensures sweetness without triggering osmotic distress.
