Other names Advantame sweetener, E969
Advantame: low in FODMAPs, histamine and salicylate. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsLow
Advantame is not a sugar and not a polyol, so it belongs to none of the five FODMAP families. It is used in milligrams. The thing to check in a sugar-free product is not this but the bulking agent beside it: sorbitol, maltitol and xylitol are the P of the acronym, and they are what usually causes the trouble.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Advantame is a synthetic intense sweetener used in milligrams. It contains no histamine, releases none, and does not touch the DAO enzyme - it is on the scale only because sweetener blends are reviewed as a group.
