Monosaccharides

There is only one FODMAP in the monosaccharides group: fructose. Often referred to as “fruit sugar,” fructose is found in all fruits and fruit juice concentrates, although it’s particularly high in certain fruits, such as apples, cherries, pears, and watermelon. In addition, fructose is a component of agave nectar, honey (which isn’t vegan), and high-fructose corn syrup. Fructose is also found in cane sugar (although a moderate amount of cane sugar is generally well tolerated by people with IBS), grains (such as wheat), and some vegetables (such as artichokes, asparagus, and sugar snap peas).
