High FODMAP
Sweet Chili Sauce
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Sweet chili sauce combines chilies, sugar, vinegar, garlic, and sometimes fish sauce for a sticky glaze. High sugar content and frequent garlic additions elevate fructose and fructan loads during simmering. Commercial jars often add wheat thickeners or high-fructose stabilizers to standardize consistency across batches. Those managing IBS should verify ingredient simplicity and measure usage carefully. Diluting with broth or water helps lower carbohydrate density before applying.

Blend certified low-FODMAP chili paste with brown rice syrup, rice vinegar, and lime juice to replicate sweetness safely. Avoid commercial jars that list sugar or garlic extract in the first three ingredients to minimize triggers. Apply a thin brushing application during final cooking to enjoy flavor while keeping fructose load manageable.
