I know there are a number of registered dietitians (RDs) following me on Twitter; I love hearing your great stories about how FODMAPS has helped your patients. I like hearing about the challenges of teaching the diet, too. It helps me learn, grow, and improve my teaching materials. RDs: Please stop by my booth (#52) at the Product Marketplace on Sunday at FNCE to say hello. I'd love to meet you!

Patsy, what is your opinion about rice syrup?
I know rice is fine, so I ate some rice syrup just now.
Then, I started thinking it might not be safe once the sugars
are reduced. I hope it is ok.
I have developed an allergic cough when I consume maple syrup. :(
That really stinks! I have multiple food intolerance's, and now this.

Betty, I get a lot of questions about rice syrup but I am not yet sure of how to answer. From what I have been able to determine so far, it is somewhat like high fructose corn syrup, in that industry produces many different variations of "rice syrup" with varying percentages of fructose in them. Some of them are high in fructose, but we can't tell from reading the food label. So, until I learn otherwise, I would suggest not using rice syrup during the elimination phase of the diet, although it might be OK later if one determines that fructose malabsorption in not a problem.

Patsy, I am wondering about Sorghum flour?
I know sorghum is used to make molasses. Is the flour safe?
It is a great gluten free flour.
I realize you may not have an answer for me, just had to ask.

I have not seen any data on sorghum flour. Sorghum molasses is apparently a traditional favorite in the southern U.S., though most commercial molasses is a byproduct of sugar cane processing.
