Glycine and the Low FODMAP Diet

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can synthesize it from other chemicals. It is the simplest amino acid with a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. Glycine is utilized in food products as a flavor enhancer and is often listed as E640 in ingredient lists. It is found naturally in protein-rich foods and can be derived from both animal and plant sources, which is important to consider for those following a vegan diet.
