Yes, Happy Gut can be part of a low FODMAP diet. We will highlight two things for you and your health practitioner(s) to be aware of:
Happy Gut includes a prebiotic fibre made from apples. This means the residual fructose is extremely low, making it OK for FODMAP diets.
The inclusion of chamomile in Happy Gut is not low FODMAP however, it is a very small amount and can be tolerated in many cases.
If you have any concerns, please consult your health practitioner for advice.
Happy Gut includes FibaFit™, a prebiotic apple fibre made from Hawkes Bay apples as a by-product of apple juice production, creating a solid by-product that is essentially pure fibre from the pulp. There will be some residual fructose, and other related sugars, locked into the fibre the after the extraction, however, these residual sugars are hard to get at and remain locked into both soluble and insoluble fibre. After consuming FibaFit™, some of this bound fructose might become unbound during digestion while the remainder will pass through the gut undigested. FibaFit™ presents a very small exposure to those with a fructose intolerance condition.
We do not recommend taking Happy Gut whilst taking blood thinning medication.

Soothing herbal aids ginger and chamomile work to settle and relax an uneasy stomach, supporting digestive comfort by eliminating bloating and improving gut health. Working alongside is prebiotic apple fibre which acts to promote a healthy and balanced gut microbiome, reducing excess gas production and ultimately alleviating abdominal pain and distention for overall gut support.
