High FODMAP
Fig
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Fresh figs contain significant polyols and trace fructans that frequently exceed low-FODMAP thresholds quickly. The natural sweetness delivers concentrated sugar alcohols that rapidly absorb into the gut. Even small portions can trigger notable bloating in sensitive individuals. Careful monitoring is essential when incorporating into elimination diets.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Black Mission figs contain slightly different polyol ratios but still exceed limits quickly when fresh. Verify commercial products avoid honey soaking techniques used to enhance sweetness. Substitute with low-FODMAP prune alternatives only during strict reintroduction monitoring. Store refrigerated to preserve texture and prevent rapid spoilage in warm environments.
