Drinks

Are Soft drinks Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.

Safe serving

Depends entirely on the sweetener

FODMAP group responsible

  • Excess fructose — Monosaccharides. A problem only when fructose outweighs glucose, as in honey and apple.
  • Sorbitol — Polyols. Stone fruit, avocado, and most sugar-free products.

Why

Two separate traps. Regular versions sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup are high in excess fructose. Sugar-free versions frequently use sorbitol or other polyols, which are among the most reliable triggers on the list. Cola sweetened with ordinary sugar, and drinks sweetened with stevia, are fine.
