Foods high in fructans usually cause the same problems as fructose, although this is still under investigation. However, it is recommended that fructan intake for Fructose Malabsorbers should be kept to less than 0.5 grams/serving, as opposed to 0.3g/serving for fructose.
Supplements with inulin and fructooligosaccharide (FOS) – both fructans, should be avoided also.
As should foods rich in other fermentable oligo-, di- and mono-saccharides and polyols (FODMAPs), including artichokes, asparagus, leeks, onions, and wheat-containing products, including breads, cakes, biscuits, breakfast cereals, pies, pastas, pizzas, and wheat noodles.
