Can you eat dates with IBS?

Dates are high in a sugar alcohol known as sorbitol, which can increase bowel movements and should be avoided if you're experiencing diarrhea. Those with IBS or sensitivities may also wish to avoid dates due to their high fructose content.

Is Date sugar low FODMAP?

The short answer is no. Depending on where they come from and how they're manufactured, not all forms of sugar have an equal amount of glucose and fructose. For the record, many common sugars like table sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar, raw sugar, or icing sugar are low FODMAP.
