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.
- Fructans — Oligosaccharides. Wheat, onion, garlic. The most common trigger and the hardest to avoid.
Why
High in both excess fructose and fructans, which is an unusual combination and part of why asparagus is one of the more reliably symptomatic vegetables.
What to use instead
Green beans
Low FODMAP at 75 g and behave similarly on a plate.
This entry is compiled from published Monash-aligned guidance rather than our own laboratory testing, and thresholds are revised as new data arrives. For the elimination phase the Monash app is the authority. See the full food list for how the categories fit together, orcheck another food.
