Are you sick of water, yet? Finding tasty things to drink during the elimination phase of the Low FODMAP Diet can be challenging. Most drinks at your local grocery store are full of high FODMAP sweeteners like condensed apple or pear juice, fructose, and polyols. This may leave you feeling like water is your only option.
While drinking water is good for you, it can also be super boring. So, if you’re looking for a FODMAP friendly way to keep cool this summer, try this low FODMAP lemonade.
This low FODMAP lemonade is made the traditional way – with simple syrup and elbow grease. I absolutely love its fresh, clean taste. Especially, after an afternoon of bopping around in the sun. If you like your lemonade without pulp, run the lemon juice through a sieve before you add it to the simple syrup.
If you’re feeling a little grown up, you can add a little vodka to your glass. According to Monash University, one shot (30 ml) of vodka is low FODMAP. But, you didn’t hear that from me.

Keep it FODMAP Friendly
This low FODMAP lemonade will keep you refreshed all summer long. Since simple syrup is just sugar and water, it’s low FODMAP in the amount we’re using.
Lemon juice, on the other hand, is safe in servings of 1/2 a cup per sitting. Our recipe uses 1.5 cups for 10 servings. This is well within the recommended range.
Heads up, this recipe is delicious, but it can also be pretty acidic. If you suffer from GERD, dyspepsia, or general acid reflux, try a small serving first and see how it goes.
