What's the FODMAP diet? 

Up to 1 in 5 people suffer from IBS. Most gut issues are caused by FODMAPS = a group of carbohydrates found in lots of foods, like apples, honey, wheat, dates, onion and garlic. The Low FODMAP diet was developed by Monash University and involves identifying which FODMAPs you're intolerant to and eliminating those from your diet. You can read more about it right here!

Will Fodbods make me bloated? 

Bloating can be caused by a variety of factors so we can't guarantee that Fodbods won't make you bloated. What we can guarantee is that they have been certified by the FODMAP Friendly Food Company for the recommended serving size and can be safely eaten during all phases of the FODMAP diet (elimination, re-introduction and personalisation).

How should I store Fodbods? 

The bars should be stored in a cool, dry place. If you're lucky to live somewhere tropical and warm, it might be worth storing them in the fridge to maintain their shape and texture. 

Why are my bars oily? 

Fodbods don't contain any additives, preservatives or emulsifiers - just natural wholefood ingredients that we all know and love. Because of this, our bars may sometimes get a little oily, especially if left in a warm environment (like the car). It's all healthy (unsaturated) fat and is obviously fine to consume although some of our friends prefer to wipe it off before enjoying. If you're interested in reading more, we've written a full blog article on this which you can find here.

Are Fodbods Gluten free? 

Yes, we have all of our Fodbods laboratory tested for gluten. 

What allergens should I be aware of when eating Fodbods? 

Fodbods Protein bars contain nuts (either peanuts or almonds, never both) and soy. You should also be aware that they're made in a shared facility that processes Sesame Seeds. Fodbods Buddies bars are allergy friendly (note that they're also made in a shared facility).

Is Pea Protein FODMAP friendly? 

There's a bit of confusion around pea protein as some varieties aren't very pure and can be high FODMAP. We only use very pure pea protein in our bars and you can trust that they're FODMAP friendly as they have been independently tested and certified. Here's a great article on the topic, if you're interested – https://www.fodmapeveryday.com/is-pea-protein-low-fodmap/.

Is Soy Protein FODMAP friendly? 

Soy is quite complicated when it comes to FODMAPs. Soybeans contain oligosaccharides, however most of this is removed during the process of making soy protein. The soy protein isolate used in Fodbods has almost negligible amounts oligosaccharides so it's low FODMAP.
