Is Quest Nutrition Quest Protein Bar low FODMAP?

FODMAP score

68

Moderate

Not reliably — Quest bars land in the moderate zone. Each bar stacks a double-digit dose of soluble corn fiber (a fermentable prebiotic fiber, roughly 12-14g listed as fiber) on top of several grams of erythritol, and that combined fermentable load adds up for many sensitive guts. The milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate base itself is clean and essentially lactose-free — it's the fiber-and-polyol system that drives the caution.

What's inside

Soluble corn fiberA fermentable prebiotic fiber dosed at double digits per bar — the biggest single contributor here.
ErythritolA sugar alcohol; better absorbed than sorbitol, but at bar-level grams it still ferments for many people.
Milk protein isolate + whey protein isolateProtein isolates are essentially lactose-free.
AlmondsFine in small amounts, but they add to the overall fermentable load of the bar.
Sucralose + steviol glycosidesNon-polyol sweeteners with no FODMAP load.

📏 One 2.12 oz (60g) bar carries the full corn-fiber plus erythritol load — half a bar is a much smarter first test than a whole one.

Gentler alternatives

Natural peanut butter on rice cakesSimilar snack satisfaction with essentially no fermentable fiber or polyols.

Premier Protein or Core Power shakeDelivers the same 20-30g protein hit with none of the added fiber or sugar alcohols.

GoMacro protein barSweetened with brown rice syrup (glucose-based) instead of erythritol or added prebiotic fiber — gentler for many, though still check the flavor's label.
