Chocolate and peanut butter are absolutely irresistible, just like these granola bars. My granola bars are made with light corn syrup, which is composed mostly of glucose—so, while it hasn’t yet been tested for FODMAPs, most light corn syrups shouldn’t cause problems for a low-FODMAP diet.

Is peanut butter considered low fodmap? Peanuts are legumes, and I thought legumes were high in fodmaps.
Hello Steve
When peanut butter is made in its simplest form with just peanuts, oil, and a bit of salt, then yes, it is low FODMAP. Monash University has certified that two tablespoons of standard peanut butter should be safe for those on a low FODMAP diet regimene
