Stachyose and the Oat Free Diet

Stachyose is a tetrasaccharide consisting of two galactose units, one glucose unit, and one fructose unit. It is found naturally in numerous vegetables and legumes, particularly in beans and peas. As a carbohydrate, stachyose is not fully digestible by the human gut and can lead to the production of gas and bloating, especially in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or those sensitive to FODMAPs.
