Corn can be high or low FODMAP depending on preparation and serving size. Limit corn as a vegetable (corn kernels, corn on the cob) as these foods contain high levels of sorbitol. Corn oil, foods made with corn starch, ground corn (corn tortillas, pasta, grits), and canned corn are low FODMAP.

What is a Low FODMAP diet?

A Low FODMAP diet limits foods high in certain short-chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs) that can be poorly absorbed in the gut. These include specific sugars found in foods like onions, garlic, beans, apples, and wheat. It's commonly followed by people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive sensitivities to reduce bloating, gas, and discomfort. The diet typically involves an elimination phase, followed by gradual reintroduction to identify personal triggers. When followed carefully, often with a dietitian's guidance, a Low FODMAP diet can help manage symptoms while maintaining a balanced and varied intake of nutrients.
