Sensitivity notes
Why fodmaps food checker matters
FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates that can cause digestive distress in sensitive individuals. They include fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, and polyols. These sugars are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and ferment in the colon, potentially causing bloating, gas, and discomfort.
- Start with a 2-6 week elimination phase, removing all high-FODMAP foods
- Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to track your reactions
- Reintroduce one FODMAP group at a time to identify your specific triggers
- Remember that threshold varies - you may tolerate small amounts
- Work with a dietitian trained in the low-FODMAP diet for best results

What to know about apricot
Fresh apricots are anti-inflammatory and clean on histamine content, sulfites and oxalates, yet they still trip up a lot of people because they hit three separate triggers at once: they are a histamine liberator, they are high in salicylates, and they are high in sorbitol, a polyol FODMAP. That combination is the stone-fruit signature, and it is why apricots can cause hives, flushing, an itchy mouth or bloating even when the fruit itself is not high in histamine.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, a hallmark of stone fruit, so it can trigger flushing, hives, headaches or an itchy mouth even though the apricot is low in histamine itself
- High in salicylates, a frequent trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- High in sorbitol (a polyol), which makes fresh apricots a high FODMAP fruit and a common cause of gas and bloating in larger portions

FODMAPs Guide
Everything you need to know about fodmaps sensitivity and smart food choices.
FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates that can cause digestive distress in sensitive individuals. They include fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, and polyols. These sugars are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and ferment in the colon, potentially causing bloating, gas, and discomfort.
Sensitivity varies widely. What triggers one person may be fine for another. Track your reactions to find your personal threshold.
