Egg Replacer
Legumes & Tofu · Meat Alternatives
The egg replacer listed in the Monash app is low FODMAP at 6 g, approximately one teaspoon. Its detail note also reports a low-FODMAP range up to 500 g. That upper figure describes the app's range statement; it is not a recipe instruction or a suggested amount to eat.

Breakdown for 1 teaspoon
Is egg replacer low FODMAP?
All six FODMAP groups are green at the 6 g reference serving. The entry does not specify a universal formula for every product sold as an egg substitute. A commercial replacer, a liquid egg alternative and a homemade seed mixture can contain different ingredients, so their shared purpose does not establish the same FODMAP result.
Egg Replacer and IBS: what to know
When assessing a muffin, pancake or cake, consider the amount of egg replacer in your portion as well as the rest of the recipe. Flour, milk, fruit and sweeteners remain separate ingredients. A green result for the replacer does not by itself make the finished bake low FODMAP.
Gut-friendly ways to eat egg replacer
Use the manufacturer's instructions for how much replacer and liquid to add for the job your recipe needs. For an evenly mixed batch, record the total replacer used and divide it by the number of equal portions to understand your share. Keep that ingredient quantity distinct from the finished cake or batter weight, and check the actual product's ingredient list.
Frequently asked questions
Does one teaspoon replace one egg?
The app's 6 g teaspoon is a FODMAP reference, not an egg-replacement formula. Use your product's directions for the amount of replacer and water needed in the recipe.
Does this result apply to a homemade flax or chia egg?
Those mixtures have their own ingredients and amounts. They should be assessed separately rather than inheriting the commercial egg-replacer entry's 6 g result.
How should I interpret the 500 g record?
It reflects the larger low-FODMAP range stated in the app note. It does not suggest using 500 g in a bake or eating that amount as a serving.
