Pear and the Low FODMAP Diet

Pears are a type of fruit that belong to the Rosaceae family, known for their sweet and juicy flesh. They are commonly consumed fresh, canned, or as a juice. Pears are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, making them a nutritious choice. However, pears contain high levels of fructose and sorbitol, which are types of FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides, and Polyols). These compounds can ferment in the gut and cause digestive symptoms in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other FODMAP sensitivities.
