High FODMAP
Dried Apricot
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Dried apricots concentrate polyols and excess fructose into intensely sweet, dense pieces. The dehydration process removes structural fiber that normally slows sugar absorption. Standard servings quickly exceed low-FODMAP thresholds and trigger digestive distress. Elimination diets require strict avoidance due to concentrated carbohydrate delivery.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Choose sulfite-free dried apricots to reduce potential gut irritation from preservatives. Chop into microscopic pieces if testing during reintroduction to control polyol exposure. Substitute with tested low-FODMAP dried figs in small quantities for similar texture. Store airtight in cool environments to prevent moisture absorption and mold growth.
