What to know about honey
Honey is one of the classic high-FODMAP foods because it carries far more fructose than glucose, so the excess fructose cannot all be absorbed and ferments in the gut. That is why honey is a frequent cause of bloating, gas and diarrhea for people with fructose malabsorption or IBS, and it is rated high FODMAP by Monash. It is also moderately high in salicylates and sits on the pro-inflammatory side as an added sugar.
Watch for
- Very high in excess fructose, the main reason it triggers bloating, gas and loose stools in fructose malabsorption
- Rated high FODMAP overall, so even a teaspoon can be enough for a sensitive gut
- Moderately high in salicylates, a separate trigger if you are salicylate sensitive
- Poorly tolerated in SIBO, where the sugars feed bacterial overgrowth
