Dietitian noteCitrus fruits like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and limes are acidic. This high acidity level can irritate the lining of the esophagus, which is already inflamed in individuals with GERD. This irritation can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, and other uncomfortable symptoms. Whole fruits and juices are likely to lead to discomfort.

Reviews
If corn tortilla chips are low FODMAP, this is
This and the other Maseca masas are tagged as "unknown" whether they're low FODMAP or not because I'm guessing whoever decided it must not know what "corn heated with hydrated lime" (the *only* ingredient) is. That's just the technical definition of "corn masa flour" which is the top ingredient in each of the dozens of corn tortilla and corn tortilla chip products that did get approved as low FODMAP-- so this and the white and tamal Masecas should be too.
