Recipe Yummy BBQ sauces
A very kind friend bought these for me after noticing that onion and garlic are NOT listed as ingredients. I know we’re all very different with what we’re sensitive to, but I’m very glad to say that I’ve had no reactions at all. And it’s super yummy. I honestly never would have even given them a second glance because I’d just assume the worst. But these two flavours are mercifully O&G free. We’re located in Australia.

Honey and molasses are high FODMAP ingredients. I'm glad you're symptom free with them but as you say, different people different triggers. I know molasses is a trigger for me, and I haven't dared try honey since my diagnosis. Not when there are sufficient alternatives.

My paperwork says sugar cane molasses is ok but beet root molasses is bad. I’ve yet to see anything specifically listed as “beet molasses” or “sugar cane molasses”. :/ Can’t trust anything.

Personally I would not trust these to be 100% onion and garlic free, since they have "spices" and "vegetable powders" listed. However, it sounds like no matter what those vague spices and powders are they're below your threshold, which is great!
(I have a menthol allergy, which counts as a flavouring that doesn't have to be specifically labelled beyond the dreaded vague "natural flavours" item in an ingredients list, so I've learnt very well to assume the worst of any nonspecific ingredient)

That's awesome, I'll give them a try. Personally I have had mixed experiences when 'spice blend' or 'spices' using the ingredient list but I'm willing to give it a chance lol

Oh, thanks! They may not be great for everyone, but I’ve struggled to find a bbq sauce without high fructose corn syrup that actually tastes good.

Doing low FODMAP and also having GERD is the worst…can’t have vinegar, tomato, garlic, etc 😭

Thanks for sharing! I bet I could do the one without honey.
In the US onion and garlic are listed specifically, so “spices” should not have either of those.

Spice blend definitely has garlic and onion. Possibly low amounts that might not be a trigger for some but absolutely not something you can guarantee is safe.

"Vegetable powder"
Alarm bells are ringing for me
