Sensitivity notes
Why fructans food checker matters
Fructans are chains of fructose molecules found in wheat, onions, garlic, and many other foods. They're a type of FODMAP that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals because they're not well absorbed in the small intestine.
- Garlic-infused oil is low-FODMAP since fructans don't dissolve in oil
- Green parts of leeks and scallions are lower in fructans
- Sourdough bread may be better tolerated than regular wheat bread
- Spelt and ancient grains still contain fructans despite marketing claims
- Portion size matters - small amounts may be tolerable

What to know about nectarine
A nectarine is essentially a fuzzless peach, and its smooth skin hides the same three stone-fruit triggers: it is a histamine liberator, high in salicylates, and high in the sugar alcohol sorbitol (a polyol FODMAP). People often ask whether nectarines are gentler than peaches because they have no fuzz, but the skin texture does not change the chemistry, and reactions like itching, hives, flushing or bloating are common even though the fruit itself is low in histamine.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, so it can trigger itching, hives, flushing or headaches even though a nectarine is not high in histamine itself
- High in salicylates, a frequent culprit if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich fruit like berries and dried fruit
- High in sorbitol, a polyol FODMAP that pulls water into the gut and can cause bloating, gas or loose stools, especially past one fruit
- Being fuzzless does not make it milder than a peach: the histamine, salicylate and sorbitol load is effectively the same
