Why People Avoid Mangetout
People following a low FODMAP diet may choose to avoid mangetout because they contain high levels of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), which can cause digestive distress in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other functional gastrointestinal disorders. At typical serving sizes, mangetout are considered high in FODMAPs, making them unsuitable for those on a strict low FODMAP diet.
