Is Eggo Homestyle Waffles low FODMAP?

One waffle, usually yes — a tall stack is where the wheat adds up. The label is short and mostly quiet: enriched wheat flour, water, sugar, vegetable oil, then a 2%-or-less list with leavening, fructose, salt, spice, soy lecithin, whey, and eggs. The flour is the whole story. Refined white flour in a single waffle is a modest fructan dose, roughly in the range of a slice of white bread; the box's two-waffle serving doubles it, and a three-waffle breakfast moves into territory many sensitive stomachs notice. Two small-print items deserve a glance but not alarm: fructose appears as a standalone ingredient, but far enough down the list that amounts are tiny, and whey at that position contributes only a trace of lactose. The sugar itself is plain sucrose — balanced glucose and fructose — and fine. The bigger swing factor may be what goes on top: pure maple syrup keeps things calm, while honey or agave pours more excess fructose over the plate than the waffle itself contains. Toast one, top it sensibly, and this is a workable breakfast; stack three with honey and it isn't.
