What to know about hot sauce
Most hot sauces are a simple mix of chilli peppers, vinegar and salt, and that combination is what makes them a moderate trigger on several fronts at once. The chillies are nightshades and their capsaicin directly irritates the gut and reflux; the vinegar and any fermentation lift histamine and tyramine; and sitting in acid, the sauce is a classic reflux aggravator. Unlike garlic-heavy sauces such as sriracha, a plain vinegar-and-chilli hot sauce is lower in fructans, so it is often the gentler pick for a FODMAP-sensitive gut, though sugar-added and thickened versions vary.
Watch for
- Chilli peppers are nightshades, so hot sauce is a trigger for the nightshade-sensitive, and the capsaicin separately irritates the gut and reflux
- The vinegar base and any fermentation raise histamine and tyramine, so it can set off flushing, headaches or hives in histamine-sensitive people
- Moderate FODMAP overall, but lower in fructans than garlic-and-onion sauces like sriracha, so a plain chilli-vinegar sauce is often the easier choice for IBS
- Often contains sulfites as a preservative, worth noting if you are sulfite-sensitive
