- Elimination phase removes all potentially inflammatory foods
- Focus on nutrient-dense foods: organ meats, bone broth, vegetables
- Reintroduce foods one at a time after 30-90 days

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for 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
