fructose

Dietitian note

Fructose, 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.

Description

Nature Valley Protein Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Flavor is a granola bar that is made with protein, specifically 10-15 grams of protein. The protein in this bar is derived from whole grain oats. It is a convenient snack option, suitable for on-the-go and snack time. This granola bar is gluten-free and does not contain artificial flavors or colors. However, it is made with high fructose corn syrup. While it is touted as an invigorating treat, some people have mentioned that the protein content is not particularly impressive. Additionally, after a workout, one bar might not be sufficient. Overall, this product is a protein-packed, gluten-free granola bar option that can be enjoyed for snack time or on-the-go, but it may not be the best choice for those seeking a high protein snack after a workout.

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.
