Cakes
Most foods that are considered sugary and contain high-fructose corn syrup are going to make this list. Cakes are a combination of many unhealthy ingredients — most of them causing problems for those with diverticulitis. For example, milk is part of FODMAP, and sugar can cause all sorts of issues for the body. For those who happen to be experiencing symptoms of diabetes, it would be wise to avoid cakes as much as possible.
The thing about cakes is they can be quite versatile, and can be prepared in such a way that they could still be potentially healthy. However, a very large percentage of cakes aren’t a good idea for those susceptible to diabetes, due to the high-fat and sugar content. While it’s easy to be tempted, you are better off baking your own cake using healthier ingredients that aren’t part of FODMAP.
It’s not necessarily just about the cake itself, but all of the ingredients that typically come with a cake. For example, you have frosting, which can be made from butter and cream. There are so many potentially unhealthy ingredients with cakes that avoiding the dessert is recommended.
