FODMAP are specific kinds of carbohydrate. They are only carbs not oil, fat or proteins. These types of carbs are digested by bacteria in the colon rapidly producing gas and other byproducts that can trigger IBS symptoms.

Heather sells products with fennel oil or seeds for making tea. The oil and tea don't contain FODMAPs. The fennel bulb which may people eat contains FODMAPs. I am not sure about the seeds but they are high in fiber not recommended on the EFI diet.

There are FIVE FODMAP groups. You may not have a problem with all of them. I have difficulties with 4 of the 5. Fructans in wheat and other grains don't both me. Unfortunately, the best approach is to remove them all for a few weeks and then slowly start testing each group to figure out what you can tolerate.

It is difficult to find a definitive list of FODMAP free foods. It is simpler to learn which foods are known to contain FODMAPs and use this information to exclude those foods. However, one has to read food labels carefully. There is an excellent primer on FODMAPs in a newsletter prepared by International Foundation for Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (IFFGD). You may find it useful

Papaya or tropical paw paw should be safe according to the USDA database because it contains more glucose than fructose and therefore it is not an excess fructose food.
