FODMAPS-friendly mayonnaise for those early-summer potato salads turns out to be rather easy to find. Most of the full-fat, real mayo on your grocer's shelf will work quite well! Always double check ingredients when you buy, in case they've switched sweeteners when I wasn't looking, but at the time of this writing, the following brands appear suitable for the FODMAPS elimination diet: Hellman's Real Mayonnaise, Cains Mayonnaise, Spectrum Organic Olive Oil Mayonnaise, Smart Balance Light Mayonnaise, even Miracle Whip.
Many of the fat-free mayos I checked were sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, so read those labels carefully. Remember that regular corn syrup is OK on the FODMAPS elimination diet.
Does anyone think that natural flavorings could have something to do with our fructose mal. problems. After all, you don't really know what you are ingesting with a food injected with natural flavorings.
