As with any common IBS trigger, it's important to listen to your body and figure out what works best for you. While several key ingredients in chocolate are known to trigger digestive discomfort, some people may find that smaller portion sizes or dairy-free options might be easier on their gut.
We recommend a good quality dark chocolate as the best (and usually the healthiest) option. Our Easter chocolate tips: Avoid large serves of chocolate, even if you are not intolerant to lactose. Chocolate is very high in fat, which when consumed in excess can affect gut motility and may trigger IBS symptoms.
You could also aim for vegan and lactose-free chocolate. Though these options may also contain some extra high FODMAP ingredients (i.e. honey, high fructose corn syrup, sugar alcohols). Therefore be careful and remember the laws of low FODMAP, read your labels and eat to your tolerance level.
Traditionally, chocolate has been viewed as a potential trigger for gut symptoms like pain, cramping, bloating, gas and diarrhea. This is because chocolate, particularly milk chocolate, contains a lot of sugar, including lactose, milk proteins and fat – all of which can cause symptoms in susceptible persons.

Peanut Butter is Low in FODMAPS
While almonds, cashews, and pistachios are fairly high in FODMAPs, peanuts, pecans, and walnuts are considered low FODMAP foods. This is because peanuts are technically part of the legume family, they're safe for a low FODMAP diet.
Peanut butter is classed as low FODMAP within serving sizes of less than 140g! Above this portion size, it is high in fructose and may trigger your IBS symptoms if you poorly tolerate this type of FODMAP. Therefore, peanut butter below 140g can be a great source of protein and fibre during a low FODMAP diet.
Increasing soluble fibre can help IBS symptoms. Oats are a great source of soluble fibre. Soluble fibre helps bulk out stools and this can help constipation, as small, hard stools can be hard to pass.
If someone with IBS tolerates dairy products, plain and unsweetened Greek yogurt is a nutritious dietary addition. Greek yogurt contains live probiotics—bacteria that offer many health benefits, including for gut health. If you are lactose intolerant, you might still be able to enjoy Greek yogurt.
If dairy and cow's milk products tend to trigger your symptoms, try replacing them with dairy-free alternatives. For example, drink coconut milk or almond milk instead of cow's milk. Replace butter with olive oil or avocado oil. Eat soy-based ice cream instead of ice cream made with whole milk.
Traditional ice cream, based on cow's milk and cream, has been lab tested by Monash University in vanilla flavor and it does have a low FODMAP serving size of 30 g, which they say is “2/3 scoop”. So, you can have some, just not a lot.
