Is cordial (apple and raspberry, 50% juice, undiluted) low FODMAP?

The measured amounts refer to cordial before water is added, not the finished glass. Fructose is the elevated group at both recorded portions; the remaining groups are low. Adding water changes the drink's concentration and volume, but if you drink all of it you still consume the same quantity of cordial. A green amount cannot be calculated from the two supplied references.

Cordial (Apple and Raspberry, 50% Juice, Undiluted) and IBS: what to know

For an IBS diary, record the concentrate used and the fraction of the prepared drink you actually consumed. 'One glass of squash' leaves both of these unknown. Also check that the bottle matches the apple-and-raspberry recipe and juice percentage, since another cordial is a separate product. The ratings describe portions rather than a definite symptom response.

Gut-friendly ways to eat cordial (apple and raspberry, 50% juice, undiluted)

Measure the concentrate before filling a jug, then mix thoroughly and keep track of how many servings it makes. Use a measuring tool with markings fine enough for small liquid quantities. Compare orange cordial or the rosehip-based fruit mix through their own guides instead of substituting a flavour and keeping this rating.

Frequently asked questions

Is 8 ml of apple raspberry cordial low FODMAP?

No. That small concentrate amount is moderate in fructose, while 25 ml is high.

Does more water make the same cordial amount low?

Extra water dilutes the flavour but does not remove the cordial you added. Track the concentrate consumed rather than only the final drink volume.

Can I use the green portion of orange cordial?

The recipes have separate references. A low amount for orange cordial does not establish one for apple and raspberry.

Does this apply to ready-to-drink apple raspberry juice?

No. This guide concerns a 50%-juice cordial measured undiluted, not a bottled drink consumed as supplied.
