Is hot chocolate tablets (mexican style) low FODMAP?
The low reference has all listed FODMAP groups low. Fructans change at the larger comparison amounts, which are not suggested portions for a drink.

Hot Chocolate Tablets (Mexican Style) and IBS: what to know
For a homemade hot chocolate, record the tablet amount melted into the drink and the milk or other liquid used. A quarter of an unfamiliar tablet may not match the listed weight. If comparing drinks in relation to IBS, include sweeteners and toppings as well as the chocolate rather than treating mug size as the serving measure.
Gut-friendly ways to eat hot chocolate tablets (mexican style)
Break off and weigh the tablet before preparing the drink according to the product instructions. For a shared saucepan, melt and mix it evenly, then divide the tablet weight by the servings actually poured. Check the liquid and any additional ingredients independently. Count a second helping from the pan as part of the total amount you drink.
