I downloaded the Monash app, and I think I understand the difference now. The 3 grains that contain gluten (wheat, barely, and rye) are high FODMAP. So avoiding gluten can help due to the elimination of the fodmaps…. not due to the elimination of the gluten. But gluten free products can contain other fodmaps such as garlic and onion. So much to learn!

Hi Gia, the low FODMAP diet is a nutritional approach that focuses on carbohydrates in foods–specific ones that are commonly malabsorbed. Gluten is a protein NOT a carb. There is some overlap in gluten-free and low FODMAP foods–as both diets restrict wheat, barley and rye–the grains that contain gluten. But on the low FODMAP diet–small amounts of gluten are allowed such as in a handful of wheat based pretzels and regular soy sauce, for instance. We often recommend gluten free products on the low FODMAP diet–as this also reduces some FODMAP carbohydrates. But not all gluten free products are low in other FODMAP ingredients–for instance they may contain garlic, onion or apple juice –for instance. What makes a food low FODMAP -is that the food is devoid or has minimal FODMAPs in it. The Monash U low FODMAP app and my grocery list are good resources.

So the gluten free bread is not low fodmap because it is gluten free? If that is correct, what makes it low fodmap?

That makes sense. So therefore I should be able to eat from the fructan category?

It is possible that you are reacting to another component of wheat. Wheat is a complex grain with multiple components that may trigger symptoms. Check out this post here: https://blog.katescarlata.com/2017/02/14/heard-amylase-trypsin-inhibitors/

I have had constipation related IBS and finally tried the FODMAP diet. It has totally changed my life. I’m confused as I try to add back fructans, though. I was able to tolerate garlic and onion, but on two different attempts I cannot tolerate a full portion of bread (once tried a ciabatta roll and once a whole wheat english muffin). Does this mean I may be somewhat intolerant to all fractions, or just the wheat? Also, I accidentally had sun dried tomato in the elimination phase (not knowing it was a high FODMAP food) and I was in pain for 2 days. So, I suspect fructose as a problem too, but I’ve successfully tried lactose and sorbitol so far. Thanks for the help!

I am so sorry; I understand completely & appreciate the information that you provide to us. It is very frustrating for those of us who live in an area where there is not support, nor knowledge from the medical community regarding the Low Fodmap diet.

If you tolerate the sourdough bread that is great. The slow leavened sourdough breadmaking process reduces the fructans AND the gluten content–but the bread still has some gluten. I suspect in your case, that its about portion control. You can do diet challenges– adding back food that has gluten alone vs fructans if you wanted to test your tolerance to gluten.

Hi Linda, I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time right now. I hope you have supportive friends to give you some love and support. I think it would be best if you could get some nutrition guidance from a dietitian in your area–unfortunately, in a blog format it is not practical or appropriate for me to comment about personal medical issues without knowing your full history.
