High FODMAP
Cherry Pie
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Cherry pie combines a wheat pastry crust with a sweet-tart cherry filling and sugar. Cherries contain sorbitol, a polyol that frequently triggers gas and bloating in sensitive individuals. The wheat crust adds fructans that compound the overall fermentable carbohydrate load. Even a modest slice can quickly push individuals past their daily polyol threshold. Careful fruit substitution and crust modification are necessary to make this pie IBS-friendly.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
The sorbitol in cherries and the fructans in wheat flour create a challenging combination for most digestive systems. You can safely recreate this dessert by substituting cherries with low-FODMAP berries and using a certified gluten-free crust. Always drain canned cherries thoroughly if using them, as liquid packing sometimes contains hidden sorbitol syrups. Monitor your total daily polyol intake carefully when attempting reintroductions of stone fruits.
