Why it's not low FODMAP

Dietitian note

Chicory, often added to boost sweetness and fiber, is high FODMAP at a normal serving size. Unlike most fibers, chicory breaks down quickly in the small intestine, which can cause pain for those with IBS. We recommend avoiding all foods and beverages with chicory, chicory root, or chicory extract. Chicory leaves, however, 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.
