Good to know
Peanuts themselves are low FODMAP, so plain peanut butter is a reliable staple on the diet. The thing to check is the label: some brands add honey, molasses or "natural flavors," and reduced-fat versions sometimes add inulin for texture.
Look for a short ingredient list, ideally just peanuts and salt. It works on rice cakes, in oats, in smoothies and in satay-style sauces with soy sauce and lime.
Peanut butter on a low FODMAP diet
- Peanut butter can be part of your diet during the elimination phase.
- Low FODMAP ratings apply to typical servings. Several low FODMAP foods in one meal can add up, an effect called FODMAP stacking.
- Flavored and roasted mixes can add garlic, onion or honey, so plain versions are the safest choice.
