Why People Avoid Cannellini Bean

Cannellini beans are often avoided by individuals following a low FODMAP diet due to their high oligosaccharide content, which can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. However, certain preparations, such as using drained, canned versions or small amounts, may be suitable for some people on a low FODMAP diet. It is advisable to consult resources like the Monash app for specific serving sizes that are considered low FODMAP.
