Low FODMAP
Pomegranate
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Pomegranate seeds contain mild polyol levels that remain safely low within tested boundaries. The edible arils provide natural structure without accelerating sugar absorption. Small servings integrate smoothly into elimination diets without triggering digestive symptoms. Proper preparation enhances palatability without increasing FODMPA load.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Pomegranate juice concentrates identical polyol profiles but removes beneficial seed fiber during extraction. Verify commercial products avoid added apple or pear concentrates during bottling stages. Combine with low-FODMPA feta and mint for balanced salad toppings. Refrigerate arils immediately to prevent moisture loss and fermentation.
