Is chilean wineberry good for people with IBS?
Chilean wineberry can be high or low in FODMAPs depending on the serving size. For those managing IBS or SIBO during the elimination phase, it’s recommended to stick to smaller, safer portions, limit medium portions, and avoid large ones in a single meal. Allow adequate time between meals to support digestive processing and minimize potential IBS symptom triggers.
Pro tip: Ingredients under 2% of a product or used for colouring are typically too minimal to trigger FODMAP reactions.
