When tracking IBS meals, note whether the sauce was mixed into the recipe, used as a topping or served as a dip. Several small additions can be easy to overlook. The low rating describes FODMAP content at the listed portion; it is not a promise about the experience of eating a spicy finished dish.
Gut-friendly ways to eat habanero sauce (red, mexico)
Use a small marked measure before adding the sauce to food. For a shared taco filling or marinade, record the original amount and the servings made, including any fresh sauce added after cooking.
