Why People Avoid Pineapple
People on a low FODMAP diet may avoid pineapple depending on its form and serving size. Fresh pineapple is generally considered low FODMAP when consumed in moderation. However, dried pineapple is high in FODMAPs due to the concentration of fructose and potential formation of fructans during the drying process. Pineapple juice can also be high in FODMAPs if consumed in large quantities, as it may contain concentrated sugars.
