Sensitivity notes

Why eoe compatible diet checker matters

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) dietary management often involves eliminating common trigger foods including dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, and seafood. The six-food elimination diet is commonly used to identify personal triggers.

  • The six-food elimination diet removes dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, and seafood
  • Systematic reintroduction with endoscopy helps identify triggers
  • Milk/dairy is the most common trigger
  • Work closely with your gastroenterologist and allergist
  • Elemental diet may be used in severe cases

Ingredient notes

What to know about apricot jam

Apricot jam concentrates every trigger the fresh fruit already carries and then adds sugar on top. Cooking the fruit down and sweetening it pushes the sorbitol to a very high polyol level, tips it into excess fructose from the added sugar, and keeps the salicylates high, so apricot jam is a high FODMAP spread that also rates poorly for SIBO and fails paleo, AIP and low-sugar diets. If a spoonful on toast leaves you bloated or reacting, the concentration is why.

Watch for

  • Very high in polyols (sorbitol) and high in excess fructose once cooked and sweetened, a double FODMAP hit that plain fruit does not give you
  • High in salicylates, concentrated further by cooking the fruit down, so a little spread carries a real salicylate load
  • Rated poor for SIBO and a poor fit for DASH because of the added sugar, so it is a spread to keep small if fermentation or sugar is your problem
