Ingredient notes

What to know about red delicious apple

Red Delicious is not as sugary as a Honeycrisp, yet it still lands high FODMAP because it pairs excess fructose with sorbitol, the polyol common to all apples. That fructose-and-sorbitol combination is what makes any apple a frequent IBS and SIBO trigger, and the thick-skinned Red Delicious is no exception even though it tastes milder and less crisp than the trendier varieties.

Watch for

  • High in excess fructose, absorbed poorly once it outpaces the fruit glucose and left to ferment in the gut
  • High in sorbitol, a laxative sugar alcohol that stacks on the fructose for bloating and loose stools
  • A poor choice during a SIBO flare, since the fermentable sugars feed the overgrowth
  • Salicylate content is only moderate, so the FODMAP load, not salicylates, is the story here
