Moderate FODMAP
Strawberry Jam
Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.
Strawberry jam cooks berries with sugar and pectin to create a thick and sweet spread. Strawberries contain moderate fructose that concentrates significantly during boiling and thickening. Traditional recipes rarely include high-FODMAP additives, but commercial versions may introduce concentrated fruit juices. Those managing ITS should verify that no high-fructose thickeners were introduced during bottling. Strict portion control and careful selection improve overall digestive comfort.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Choose strawberry jam that explicitly lists berries, sugar, and pectin only to avoid hidden apple or pear juice exposure. Spread a thin layer onto gluten-free crackers instead of thick coating to reduce sugar load. Store in a cool pantry and consume within expiration window to preserve bright berry flavor and prevent mold.
