Is peanut butter low FODMAP?
Yes. Plain peanut butter is low FODMAP in a typical spread. Check the label for added honey or high fructose corn syrup.
Peanuts are technically a legume, but unlike most beans they are low FODMAP. Monash University lists peanuts as a low FODMAP nut, and plain peanut butter made from peanuts and salt is low FODMAP in a typical spread.
Read the label
Some peanut butters are sweetened with honey or high fructose corn syrup, both high in excess fructose. The simplest jars, with just peanuts and salt, are the safest choice.
Other nut butters
Nut butters follow their nuts. Cashew butter is high FODMAP, and almond butter has a smaller low FODMAP serving. Check the Monash University FODMAP app for tested portions.
