High FODMAP
Apricot
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Fresh apricots contain a blend of polyols and fructose that can overwhelm sensitive digestive systems. The fruit's natural sweetness often masks its high fermentable carbohydrate content. Even small handfuls can trigger bloating or altered bowel habits. Careful monitoring is essential when incorporating stone fruits into your diet.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Canned apricots packed in syrup introduce even higher fructose concentrations from processing. Choose fruit canned in water or low-FODMAP juice to reduce risk. Dried varieties concentrate these sugars exponentially and should be avoided entirely initially. Roasting apricots intensifies sweetness and does not reduce FODMAP load.
