Are lentils high in fructans?

Lentils contain both GOS and fructans, and the amounts will depend on variety. These FODMAPs are water-soluble, which is why it is recommended that you buy canned lentils and drain them. A good portion of the FODMAPs will drain away with the liquid.

Does sourdough bread have fructans?

What are oligosaccharides in a low FODMAP diet?

There are two main oligosaccharides in our diet: galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), or “fructans” (including inulin, a longer chain of fructose molecules). The foods that contain a high amount of these FODMAPs are avoided or limited during the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet.

What are fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides?

There are two types of oligosaccharides; fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which we will discuss below in more detail below. What are fructans? Fructans are a class of dietary fibre comprising short chains made up of the monosaccharide fructose. Fructans with a short chain length (2-9 units long) are known as fructo-oligosaccharides.

What are FODMAPs?

FODMAPs are a collection of short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols found in foods naturally or as food additives. FODMAPs include fructose (when in excess of glucose), fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), lactose and polyols (eg. sorbitol and mannitol).

What are fructans and FODMAP?

FODMAPs are short chain carbohydrates that naturally occur in some vegetables, fruits, cereals and legumes. Some examples of foods that are high in fructans and/or GOS are garlic, onion, wheat and beans.
