Is Pear Low FODMAP?

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

Same profile as apple — excess fructose plus sorbitol — and often worse. Pear juice concentrate is a common sweetener in 'no added sugar' products, which is worth knowing when reading labels.

What to use instead

  • Kiwi

    Low FODMAP at two small fruit.
