FODMAP foods / Low FODMAP cereal
Aisle guide
Breakfast cereal is a fructan aisle first: anything built on wheat, rye or barley, wheat bran included, is High. Corn and rice based cereals and plain puffed grains are the reliable ones, and oats are a portion question, fine in a modest bowl for many people and too much in a large one. Muesli and granola are where the trouble piles up, because dried fruit, honey and nuts all land in the same bowl. Honey, agave and high fructose corn syrup are High, while plain sugar, maple syrup and glucose syrup are not, which is why two very similar granolas can score differently. The trap is the fibre claim: inulin and chicory root are added to make a cereal look good on the nutrition panel and both are High.
