Serving size, prep, and portion notes for peach
Peaches are a classic stone fruit and a classic FODMAP trigger. Their standout issue is sorbitol, a sugar alcohol common to stone fruit that is poorly absorbed and ferments in the gut. Peaches are also high in salicylates and act as a histamine liberator, so a ripe peach can cause bloating, an itchy mouth or flushing in sensitive people even though the flesh itself is low in histamine.
Watch for
High in sorbitol, the sugar alcohol shared across stone fruit, which draws water into the intestine and commonly causes bloating, wind and loose stools / High in salicylates, a frequent trigger for people who react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods / Histamine liberator, so peaches can bring on itching, flushing or headaches despite being low in histamine themselves / High FODMAP overall, from sorbitol plus some excess fructose, so tolerance drops fast with a larger serving
