Invert sugar
Other names Sucre inverti, Inverted sugar syrup
Invert sugar: moderate in FODMAPs and fructose; low in sucrose. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsModerate
Invert sugar is sucrose already split into equal glucose and fructose - and equal is the word that matters. The glucose carries the fructose across, so no excess builds up. It is the clearest illustration that this axis counts the RATIO and not the amount.

- USDA FoodData Central, the national nutrient database, queried for the sugar profile
- FructoseFODMAPsModerate
Invert sugar is sucrose already split into its two halves, glucose and fructose, in equal parts. Equal parts means the glucose can carry the fructose - which is why it sits below agave or honey despite being pure sugar.
- SucroseLow
Invert sugar is sucrose that has already been split into glucose and fructose before you eat it. That makes it the sweetener a sucrase deficiency tolerates - the enzyme you are missing has nothing left to do. The opposite is true on the fructose axis.

Frequently asked questions
Which intolerances does Invert sugar affect?
Invert sugar is notable for FODMAPs, fructose and sucrose. Clear on lactose, histamine, gluten, oligosaccharides, sorbitol, tyramine, salicylate, nickel and oxalates.
Does Invert sugar contain FODMAPs?
Invert sugar contains moderate levels of FODMAPs. Invert sugar is sucrose already split into equal glucose and fructose - and equal is the word that matters. The glucose carries the fructose across, so no excess builds up. It is the clearest illustration that this axis counts the RATIO and not the amount.
Does Invert sugar contain fructose?
Invert sugar contains moderate levels of fructose. Invert sugar is sucrose already split into its two halves, glucose and fructose, in equal parts. Equal parts means the glucose can carry the fructose - which is why it sits below agave or honey despite being pure sugar.
Does Invert sugar contain sucrose?
Invert sugar contains only low levels of sucrose. Invert sugar is sucrose that has already been split into glucose and fructose before you eat it. That makes it the sweetener a sucrase deficiency tolerates - the enzyme you are missing has nothing left to do. The opposite is true on the fructose axis. Amounts vary by brand and recipe, so always check the label of the exact product.
