Foods High in FODMAPs (and what to eat instead)

Fruits and Vegetables High in FODMAPs: What to Eat Instead?

The following list contains fruits and vegetables high in fructans, oligosaccharides and polyols. The list does not include fruits or vegetables with a very small amount of these components. These are usually called “hidden” fruits or hidden vegetables because they do not show up on food labels. They may contain only trace amounts of these ingredients.

Some of the foods listed here are also high in fiber. Fiber helps slow down digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, but it doesn’t affect blood sugar levels. So they don’t cause weight gain when eaten in excess.

Some people need extra fiber to avoid constipation or diarrhea. Other people need more fiber than others depending on their health needs and personal preferences.

It’s important to note that some of the foods on this list are naturally high in fiber. For example, bananas have a lot of fiber. However, many processed foods add added fiber to them.

These types of foods tend to be higher in calories and lower in nutrients than natural fruit and vegetable varieties.

It’s still important to consume a healthy, balanced diet when you have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). You should aim to eat a wide variety of different foods and regularly include all the food groups. Listed below are about 90 fruits and vegetables high in these fructans, oligosaccharides and polyols.
