Is Maple syrup Low FODMAP?

Low FODMAP

Safe at the serving size listed.

Safe serving

2 tablespoons

Why

The most useful liquid sweetener in the protocol and the standard replacement for honey, which is high in excess fructose. Two tablespoons is a real serving rather than a token one, so maple syrup works on porridge, pancakes and in glazes without needing to be rationed.
