are gluten free desserts, made from sugar or brown rice syrup safe for a low fodmap diet? I can't find this ingredient on any fodmap list.

In the first reference in my signature.
In the FODMAP friendly section of the Table
"Sweeteners such as sugar, glucose, and aspartame".
Sugar means white and brown.
Regarding brown rice syrup see the example at the very bottom of this page. This practical guide is written by the same dietitian who wrote the first article in my signature.

sorry...I am going to buy IBS free at last tomorrow, so hopefully that will help me lots. It is very conflicting suggestions, though.
I did read under one of your links that sugar content must be below forty grams per serving.
And according to monash update, a handful of chickpeas are now okay. It's confusing that so many cheeses and dairy products are listed as okay.
I read the article you provided three times and did not see anything about brown rice syrup.  OOPS, just found it in the bread ingredient list! I was surprised that it was suggesting to buy gluten free bean flour! Beans are not allowed on the low fodmap diet, so what's that all about?

It is quite possible that when beans are milled to produce flour the process removes the offending FODMAP. And it could depend on the type of bean. For example, while soy products are not FODMAP friendly firm tofu which is produced from soy is friendly. The reason it is safe is that the offending FODMAP is removed during the production of tofu from soy beans.
Yes - it is a bit complicated. We have so many foods prepared in so many different ways that it is going to take a few years before we have a good understanding of exactly which foods are friendly and which are not.
While some dairy products don't contain FODMAPs it is quite possible that they can aggrevate IBS symptoms for other reasons other than their FODMAP content. You will have to figure this out for yourself.

Only 1/2 cup of sweet potato. What about a whole one? Come on. Getting frustrated. Doesn't even mention spinach.  Is spinach a low fodmap food? How about swiss chard? And is coconut yogurt or almond yogurt okay?
