Levulose and the Vegetarian Diet

Levulose, more commonly referred to as fructose, is a monosaccharide sugar that is naturally present in many fruits, vegetables, and honey. It is used both as a standalone sweetener and as a component of sucrose (table sugar). In the context of FODMAPs, fructose is considered a high FODMAP ingredient because it can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine, leading to digestive discomfort in some individuals, particularly those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
