Is Buttercup Original Cough Syrup 200ml Low FODMAP?
Why it's not low FODMAP
- fructose
- capsicum annuum l
- 5 microlitres of tincture from capsicum oleoresin
fructose
Dietitian noteFructose, a monosaccharide, is high FODMAP at a normal serving size. However, if you see fructose listed after glucose on an ingredient label, the FODMAP load is considered low - with one exception: If you see "glucose-fructose" on a Canadian food product, consider it high FODMAP.

What is a Low FODMAP diet?
A Low FODMAP diet limits foods high in certain short-chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs) that can be poorly absorbed in the gut. These include specific sugars found in foods like onions, garlic, beans, apples, and wheat. It's commonly followed by people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive sensitivities to reduce bloating, gas, and discomfort. The diet typically involves an elimination phase, followed by gradual reintroduction to identify personal triggers. When followed carefully, often with a dietitian's guidance, a Low FODMAP diet can help manage symptoms while maintaining a balanced and varied intake of nutrients.
