What to know about maple syrup

Is maple syrup low FODMAP, and is it a safe sweetener for histamine or fructose issues? Pure maple syrup is one of the genuinely gentle sweeteners: low FODMAP at normal amounts, clean on histamine and salicylate, and balanced in glucose and fructose so it sidesteps the excess-fructose problem that makes honey a trigger. The one real caveat is that it is still concentrated sugar.

Watch for

  • One of the cleaner sweeteners: pure maple syrup rates low FODMAP at normal servings and is clean on histamine, salicylate, sulfite, gluten and lactose
  • Balanced glucose and fructose, so unlike honey it has no excess free fructose, which makes it a reliable swap for fructose malabsorption
  • The one real caveat is that it is still concentrated sugar: it feeds gut fermentation (poor for SIBO) and is a refined-sugar note for anti-inflammatory eating
  • Watch for imitation pancake syrup, which is flavoured corn syrup and does not share this clean profile
