Serving size, prep, and portion notes for cane sugar
Cane sugar is sucrose, and as sucrose it is low FODMAP and clean across the food-chemistry triggers: no histamine, no salicylates, no oxalate, no gluten. It is not the same as honey or agave, which are high in free fructose. The real caveat with cane sugar is not sensitivity but inflammation: as a refined sugar it is pro-inflammatory, and in larger amounts it can feed bacterial overgrowth if you have SIBO.
Watch for
Pro-inflammatory as a refined sugar, so a high intake can worsen an inflammatory picture even though it triggers none of the classic sensitivities / Can feed small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in quantity, one reason a very sweet diet aggravates bloating for some people / Low FODMAP as pure sucrose, unlike honey and agave which carry excess fructose, so do not lump cane sugar in with those sweeteners
