Is Flavoring Alpha-Gal Friendly?

Flavoring refers to a variety of substances used to enhance or impart taste and aroma to food products. These can be natural or artificial and are often listed generically on ingredient labels. In savory foods, particularly those with meat, fish, or poultry, flavorings may include high FODMAP ingredients like garlic or onion, making them a concern for individuals with IBS or following a low FODMAP diet. However, flavorings in other foods are less likely to contain FODMAPs, and when they make up less than 2% of a product, they are unlikely to trigger IBS symptoms.
