Hello,
The following is a list of suggestions for herbs, spice, and flavoring agents that are unlikely to cause IBS symptoms due to FODMAPs:
•salt
•pepper
•vinegars of most kinds (check ingredients)
•lemon and lime juice
•granulated sugar
•maple syrup
•vanilla extract, real or imitation
•ginger root and turmeric
•green leafy herbs, either fresh or dried: parsley, oregano, cilantro, dill, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, mint
•chives and green (spring) onions--green part only
•paprika and ground chili powder
•seed spices such as: coriander, mustard, cumin, caraway, dill seed, celery seed, sesame seed, poppy seed, nutmeg
•cinnamon
Use caution with herbs and spices that tend to be used by the teaspoon or tablespoon in recipes, such as ground chili powder, cumin, and cinnamon. In such amounts they could contain enough FODMAPs to cause symptoms.
I couldn't find any information on the amounts of FODMAPs in spices such as chili powder, cumin, cinnamon and so on.
Does anyone have any information/thoughts on this?
On a related note, are chili's allowed on the FODMAP diet? I believe they may contain some fructans.
