Is Corn Low FODMAP?
CautionSometimes. Corn can be high or low FODMAP depending on preparation and serving size. Limit corn as a vegetable (corn kernels, corn on the cob) as these foods contain high levels of sorbitol. Corn oil, foods made with corn starch, ground corn (corn tortillas, pasta, grits), and canned corn are low FODMAP.
Corn and the Low FODMAP Diet
Corn, also known as maize, is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago. It is a staple food in many parts of the world and is used in a variety of forms including fresh, dried, and processed. Corn is found in products like cornmeal, corn syrup, corn oil, and as a raw ingredient in many packaged foods. Nutritionally, corn provides carbohydrates, vitamins, fiber, and small amounts of protein and fat. Its FODMAP content can vary, with corn kernels being high in sorbitol, while processed forms like corn starch or corn oil are considered low FODMAP.
