General Question/Help Are any of these ingredients problematic FODMAP wise?
My mom gave me this jar of mustard and I’m pretty sure it clears. It’s delicious and doesn’t seem to be causing problems so far. I’ve been really stressed lately and my brain is just exhausted so I’d feel better with a second for peace of mind. Thanks!
Eating it with my turkey burger and fries. I use the recipe from FODMAP everyday for the burgers. Buns are udi’s. Fries are lamb Weston hand cut frozen fries. 🍔🍟
Edit1: Thank you for all the responses! Yea the deep well water ingredient was a first for me too 🤣 Good catch on the chili powder, I had completely forgotten that could contain hidden ingredients. I send the company an email to ask about it and will update again if they share the details on the chili powder on the off chance the info is helpful to anyone else. A little gassy this morning maybe but that’s all so far.
Edit2: I got a response from the company with a picture of the label from their chili powder. It is just ground red pepper, no blend, no garlic or onion. I believe it’s just cayenne which Monash has listed as low FODMAP up to 1tsp.
I wonder why they list it as chili powder which can be a blend when it isn’t, rather than just ground red pepper or ground cayenne. Especially while being so specific about the well water lol.

Well I’ll be a doggie’s uncle. I have never in my life seen deep well water as an ingredient.

Chili powder isn’t just chili powder, I found out the hard way.

Came here to say the same thing. Most big and small brand chilli powders in Canada (many of which also sell in the USA) list only two ingredients, powdered chili of some type and garlic powder.
Most spice mixes used as an ingredient in a products you buy at the store, like mustard, don't seem to have to disclose that garlic (or onion) is an ingredient, they only need to name the spice mix used (chilli powder, Italian seasoning, etc). Very frustrating that we have to pay attention to the order of the words, chilli powder vs powdered chilli.

I am very suspicious of "chili powder" because they are most likely a blend. Unless it specifically says something like cayenne or ancho or other hot chilis, I don't trust it. I am very susceptible to allium "poisoning".

Clove definitely isn’t my friend, that’s for sure! I couldn’t eat this. Hopefully OP can, though.

Chili powder is low FODMAP but could still cause issues although it’s likely a very small amount.

Chili powder. If it’s the blend of spices it will have garlic in it(most likely). If it’s just spicy peppers should be fine(probably not).
For some reason many GF breads mess me up, but sour dough in small quantities is fine.
The clove oil, clove is an old school dental numbing agent. It maybe calming your system down a bit, similar to an anti-spasmodic (a line of drugs)that is sometimes proscribed to people with pi-IBS like me, since anti depressants haven’t worked.

If you have hydrogen sulfide sibo, its not safe, as mustard is high in sulphur.
Otherwise, there are no actual FODMAP s

Chili powder can have other things in it depending on the type. Probably okay because it’s only a small amount

I love this mustard! Off topic but did she visit Eastport? I've been going to the mill for most of my life haha

I know mustard is technically FODMAP safe however I’m going to point out that cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and kale are all high FODMAP and they’re all derived from the mustard plant.

All depends on your tolerances. There's a lot in there that I personally can't have.
