High fructan food list       12/06/08 05:22 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Humans don't have the enzymes needed to digest fructans. However, they can be fermented by bacteria in the large bowel particularly bifidobacterium which make up a large proportion of the flora in the large bowel. They are frequently found in prebiotics and supplements particularly in the form of inulin or FOS. Fructans are found in anything with wheat (as the main ingredient), rye, barley, onions, leeks, shallot, garlic, jerusalem artichokes, globe artichokes, asparagus, zucchini, chicory, custard apple, Thompson grapes, mango, peach, persimmon, pineapple, rambutan, watermelon, chicory, inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). You don't have to completely eliminate these foods from your diet. You just have to significantly reduce your consumption of these foods. In fact, it is difficult if not impossible to remove all fructans from your diet because they are a form of carbohydrate that many plants used to store energy even in limited amounts. From the above list it is easy to see why many people mistakenly think gluten is the problem when in fact it could be fructans. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
