Sensitivity notes
Why gos food checker matters
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are carbohydrates found mainly in legumes and some vegetables. They're a FODMAP that can ferment in the gut, causing bloating and discomfort in sensitive people.
- Canned and rinsed legumes are lower in GOS than dried
- Start with smaller portions and build up tolerance
- Some people find beano-type enzymes helpful
Triggers

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for sriracha
Sriracha stacks three triggers into one squeeze: garlic (fructans), red chilli (a nightshade) and a fermented, aged base that carries some histamine. It is high FODMAP, driven by the garlic fructans, a strong nightshade, and moderate on histamine and tyramine from the fermentation. If hot sauce reliably gives you gut symptoms, a flush or a headache, sriracha is a classic reason.
Watch for
High in fructans from garlic, the main FODMAP here, so even a teaspoon can set off bloating and cramps in a sensitive gut / A nightshade from the red chilli, which matters if you react to peppers, paprika or cayenne / Fermented and aged, so it carries moderate histamine and tyramine plus some added sulfite: a possible trigger for flushing or migraine / Added sugar nudges excess fructose into the moderate range as well
