High FODMAP
Avoid during elimination. Save for a structured reintroduction challenge.
Safe serving
No safe serving during elimination
FODMAP group responsible
- Mannitol — Polyols. Cauliflower, mushrooms, celery, sweet potato.
Why
High in mannitol even at small portions, which makes cauliflower rice and cauliflower-crust products a common trap — they are marketed as healthy low-carb swaps and are among the worse choices available during elimination.
What to use instead
Plain rice or polenta
Both are FODMAP-free at any portion.
