What to know about barbecue sauce
Barbecue sauce is a stacked condiment: onion and garlic powder, sugar or molasses, vinegar and often wheat or soy, cooked down so every trigger is concentrated. It rates high FODMAP from the onion and garlic fructans, moderate on excess fructose from the sweeteners, and borderline on gluten and sulfites. Unlike ketchup, which is tomato-forward, barbecue sauce trouble comes from the layered onion-garlic-sugar base.
Watch for
- High in fructans from onion and garlic powder, the main FODMAP, so a couple of tablespoons can bloat a sensitive gut fast
- Added sugar, molasses or honey push it into the moderate excess-fructose range
- Often contains wheat, malt or soy, so it lands borderline on gluten: check the label if you are coeliac or gluten-sensitive
- Frequently preserved with sulfites and carrying free glutamates, both possible triggers on their own
