High FODMAP
Avoid during elimination. Save for a structured reintroduction challenge.
Safe serving
No safe serving during elimination
FODMAP group responsible
- Excess fructose — Monosaccharides. A problem only when fructose outweighs glucose, as in honey and apple.
- Sorbitol — Polyols. Stone fruit, avocado, and most sugar-free products.
Why
High in both excess fructose and sorbitol, which is why apple is one of the most reliable symptom triggers on the list. Apple juice and apple purée concentrate the problem rather than dilute it.
What to use instead
Orange or firm banana
Both are low FODMAP at one medium.
