Hi there. Any kind of whole soybean, hulled or unhulled, will yield a higher FODMAP product. For soy milk it should be made from isolated soy protein and these are near to impossible to find in the US.

Hi Michael, all foods are safe unless contaminated, but we know what you mean. (We do have an article coming out addressing this terminology and why we do not use it). Please refer to our article on Energy Bars for a listing of over 100 bars, which are considered low FODMAP. Cliff bars contain chicory root (inulin) which is high FODMAP. This has nothing to do with their soy content.

Hi Robert, thank you for writing and welcome to the world of FODMAPs! As you are already seeing it is somewhat nuanced and complex, which is why the developers of the diet, Monash University, and we, suggest that it be undertaken with a registered dietitian. Soy is complicated and we have several articles addressing soy and this is because there are many soy products that are high FODMAP, but there are also several that are low and suitable even for the elimination phase. With soy in particular, Products made from whole soybeans are high FOD map and products made with soy protein isolate would be considered low FODMAP. Whether something is “healthy” not is going to depend on your needs as an individual. Many of the meat substitutes that are on the market right now are not sitting well with people with IBS from a digestive perspective. My suggestion to you would be to sign up for our newsletter. That will trigger a flurry of emails that will be sent to you right away, which contain links to what we think are our cornerstone documents. These emails are meant to be saved to refer to. After that the newsletter slows down to approximately twice a week and you will be brought new recipes, new articles written by our Monash trained registered dietitians and alerts two important things that are happening in the FODMAP world. Also, if you have not already, please download the Monash university smart phone app. The reasons why will be explained in the emails.

Hi there, a couple of questions and comments. The first question is, have you been drinking this and have you been tolerating it? If you have, then whether it would lab test as Low FODMAP does not really doesn’t matter. As to whether I think it is? I would put money on there being a Low FODMAP serving size of this, but how small the serving size would need to be I couldn’t tell you. I saw that the company also makes almond milk, oat and rice milk and all of those have Low FODMAP serving sizes. Is there a reason why you were sticking with the soy base?

Thank you for the compliments! It is always gratifying to hear that we are indeed making a difference. Of course you can take the agave straight, or add to your oatmeal or whatever you know is not triggering symptoms. Good luck – you are attuned to your body and willing to do the homework so I am sure you will get better and better.
