Peppers
Safe in normal portions. Unlikely to trigger symptoms.
Bell and sweet peppers deliver a crisp texture and naturally sweet flavor that brightens salads, stir-fries, and roasted dishes. They contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and digest comfortably across all sensitive populations. These colorful vegetables concentrate vitamin C, antioxidants, and hydration that support metabolic wellness and skin health. Peppers remain a foundational, low-FODMAP ingredient for adding visual appeal and crunch to balanced meals.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Remove seeds and inner membranes completely before slicing to prevent mild irritation and maximize tenderness during cooking. Roast whole peppers until skins char, then peel for a sweet, smoky component in grain bowls and wraps. Store cut peppers in airtight containers with dry paper towels to prevent moisture accumulation and texture degradation. Combine diced peppers with low-FODMAP proteins and herbs for quick, restaurant-quality stir-fry bases.
