Being a self-confessed chocolate addict, Easter is an especially exciting time for me! I get to hang out with all my chocolate friends aka Easter Eggs… However, sometimes the wrong Easter egg can send me dashing to the loo!
Not all Easter treats are created equal and high FODMAP ingredients tend to lurk everywhere. BUT the good news is you don’t have to miss out this Easter! I’ve got your back.
Are you ready to join me as we do a Low FODMAP Easter Chocolate Round Up?!
Quick tips for choosing your low FODMAP chocolate
- Dark chocolate is your friend. Suggested serving size is 30g (I’m not kidding! More than that and the sugar/fat combo might lead to a tummy ache).
- If you want to splash out and have some milk chocolate or white chocolate then remember these contains more lactose. Reduce your serve to 20g.
- Watch out for high FODMAP sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, lactose, mannitol, xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol, and isomalt.
- Avoid eating chocolate if it contains large amounts of high FODMAP dried fruit or nuts, as these can overload your FODMAP intake.
- When your chocolate contains dairy-based ingredients like milk solids, milk fat, milk etc, you may want to test your tolerance to a 15g serve and maybe pop a lactase tablet if you want to have a bigger serve.
Have been a brave soul and already passed your lactose challenge? Good on you if you have! You don’t need to worry about the dairy content of your chocolate goodies… just keep an eye out for sneaky high FODMAP sweeteners, nuts, and dried fruit.
Ingredient reading takes effort! So if you can’t be bothered looking for your own low FODMAP chocolate then that’s okay! We’ve done the leg work for you and put together a round up to help you find some low FODMAP Easter chocolate near you.

Just remember that like everything, chocolate should be enjoyed in moderation… try not to send yourself into a chocolate coma! If you do overindulge in low FODMAP chocolate then you might still experience gut symptoms. This is because chocolate is high in saturated fat which can affect gut motility. Here’s a link to my favourite tips for taming IBS symptoms.
Are you ready to take control of your gut symptoms?
No thanks, my gut is perfect.

That does look like you have put hours of work into this Alana. It is an awesome resource, thanks a lot.
You’re welcome Paul! I hope you find some lovely treats you can enjoy this Easter.
I’m definitely bookmarking this, thank you so much (although I’m late for Easter, alas…)!
I have a serious sweet tooth but chocolate is my biggest weakness… I usually had milk chocolate but since I started the low FODMAP diet I found out I actually enjoy quality dark chocolate as well! It has nothing to do with cheap ones that tend to get sickening after two bites, and a single square is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth!
I was wondering though, is there a difference FODMAP-wise between “regular” chocolate and raw chocolate (be it bars or cocoa powder)?
Oh I love dark chocolate too! It makes a good mid-afternoon pick me up. Raw chocolate is less processed and doesn’t contain refined sugar. Sometimes this means it contains higher FODMAP sweeteners like: coconut sugar, sorbitol, mannitol, isomalt, maltitol, xylitol, agave nectar, or honey. This means you will need to read the ingredients list carefully when choosing your chocolate.
Cacao powder is raw whereas cocoa powder is the roasted version. Cacoa powder is low FODMAP in 2 heaped teaspoons. Does that help?
