Breakdown for 1 tablespoon
Is strawberry jam (with high fructose corn syrup) low FODMAP?
The FODMAP that changes this jam's rating is fructans: moderate at 17 g and high at 30 g. Despite the ingredient name, the listed fructose rating remains low at these reference portions. Ingredient names alone cannot tell you the group profile of a finished food. Strawberry jam without this preparation label has its own entry.
Strawberry Jam (With High Fructose Corn Syrup) and IBS: what to know
For this jam, measure the amount spread over the whole breakfast, including a second slice of toast or another spoonful in yoghurt. A low FODMAP portion describes the carbohydrate profile at that weight, not how every person with IBS will feel. Record the jam, bread and other toppings together if you are comparing breakfasts.
Gut-friendly ways to eat strawberry jam (with high fructose corn syrup)
Weigh jam into a small dish before spreading it thinly over toast. For a yoghurt swirl, stir a measured amount through the portion you plan to eat. When adding jam to a shared dessert, calculate the jam per serving separately from the pastry, cream or other filling. Check peanut butter independently for a peanut-butter-and-jam sandwich.
