Low-FODMAP foods

Low-FODMAP foods are a healthy alternative for people who need to avoid lactose, fructose, sugar substitutes, and certain other polysaccharides.

FODMAP-rich foods can trigger symptoms such as gas, diarrhea, and constipation – particularly when the person's intestine has already been damaged or they suffer from a congenital intolerance

FODMAP-rich foods include: 

  • Broccoli, cabbage, fennel, onions, garlic, leeks, mushrooms, chickpeas, beans, and legumes 
  • Apples, pears, apricots, mangos, and cherries
  • Honey
  • Milk, yogurt, and cheese
  • Sugar substitutes (e.g. sorbitol)

Many sources also claim that wheat and other grains can be problematic, in that wheat contains large quantities of “fructane” fructose chains, and many researchers and dieticians believe that wheat and gluten can be triggers.

Ultimately, gluten isn't technically relevant to the literal FODMAP diet as they have a completely different structure: all FODMAPs are carbohydrates, whereas gluten is a protein. Therefore, it's more likely that a wheat intolerance (wheat sensitivity) or gluten intolerance (celiac’s disease) is the culprit for symptoms. 

Low-FODMAP foods include: 

  • Carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, bok choy, eggplant, potatoes, parsnips, chives, and turnips
  • Bananas, blueberries, strawberries, melon, graprefruit, oranges, and kiwi 
  • Almond milk, lactose-free milk, rice milk, coconut millk, and cheeses/yogurts made from plant-based milks
  • Dextrose, malt sugar, tapioca syrup, and rice syrup
