Can I Take Apple Cider Vinegar as a Supplement When on a Low FODMAP Diet?
Most of us with IBS have been advised to take one supplement or another to "fix everything!" Apple Cider Vinegar is likely one of those supplements. We also know apples are high in the FODMAPs Fructose and Sorbitol and should be reduced or eliminated while you are following a low FODMAP diet. But what about apple cider vinegar? It is reported to have all kinds of health benefits. Is it ok to take it as a supplement when you’re on a low FODMAP diet?
In principle, the answer is yes. You can have 2 tablespoons per “meal” and it’s considered by Monash to be low FODMAP.
BUT, that’s not the question you should be asking! The question you should be asking: Is Apple Cider Vinegar a supplement that will benefit me/my health?
To answer that question, I refer you to yet another fantastic piece of research and writing from my amazing sister, Sarah Aitken, RN, MS, WHNP/FNP. It’s an interesting and easy read and it will give you all the data you need to answer this question for yourself.
