If I'm fine with white wheat bread, will I be fine with the rest of the high fructan foods?

If you've seemed to do allright with some of the other foods in that high fructan category..Most folks here are better at relating with our experience on the this diet, but hope that helps. I believe spelt flour (white for us) was "NOT" listed as an unsafe FODMAPS last I looked; but, the list is evolving as they test new foods though. Some people find, as they "gradually" build up probios that produce enzymes, that they can eat a better variety of foods, hopefully. Though, some peoples' livers don't produce the enzyme for fructose (another FODMAP category), I just read, there's an easy breath test to figure that one out.

Yes - more than likely you will be able to tolerate other fructans.

People without the liver enzyme to breakdown fructose have herditary fructose intolerance (HFI) which is quite different from fructose malabsorption. Individuals with HFI cannot tolerate fructose in any form including from sucrose. Individuals with fructose malabsportion have a low capacity fructose transport mechanism in the small intestine however, they can handle sucrose because it absorbed by a different transport mechanism. The breath test is only useful for the later not the former. The former (HFI) is diagnosed through a DNA analysis
