What to know about plum
A fresh plum carries a heavy sorbitol load on top of moderate fructose, so it lands high FODMAP and can loosen the bowel long before you reach prune territory. On the histamine side plum is a liberator, which is why some people notice flushing or a headache from it. Dry it into a prune and the sorbitol concentrates, turning the same fruit into a well-known remedy for constipation.
Watch for
- High in sorbitol, a polyol with a laxative, water-drawing effect that is the main reason plums and prunes loosen the gut
- Moderate excess fructose adds to the FODMAP load, pushing a whole plum into the high range
- Histamine liberator, so it can set off flushing or headaches even though it is not a high-histamine food
- Salicylate content is only moderate, so plums are usually gentler there than citrus or berries
