High FODMAP
Cherry
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Cherries contain moderate to high polyol levels that frequently exceed tolerance thresholds. The natural sweetness delivers concentrated fructose alongside problematic sugar alcohols. Standard servings quickly shift into the high category for most IBS individuals. Careful portion tracking is mandatory for safe consumption.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Fresh tart cherries generally contain lower polyol levels than sweet varieties but still exceed limits quickly. Canned cherries packed in syrup dramatically increase excess fructose exposure. Choose water-packed options or rinse thoroughly to reduce sugar coating. Bake low-FODMAP fruit tarts using tested blueberry and rhubarb combinations instead.
