AvoidNo. Inulin, derived from the chicory plant, is often used to boost fiber and sweetness in processed foods. It is high FODMAP at a normal serving size.
Inulin and the Low FODMAP Diet
Inulin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in many plants, but is most commonly extracted from chicory root for use in food products. It acts as a soluble dietary fiber and prebiotic, promoting gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria in the colon. Inulin is also used as a fat and sugar replacer in a variety of processed foods due to its mildly sweet flavor and ability to improve texture.
