Apples/ Pears

The most consumed fruits worldwide are apples and pears. They have been associated with a number of health advantages and are high in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants. But for some people, apples and pears have also been linked to bloating and other digestive problems.

Fructose, a FODMAP, and the high fiber content are to blame. Both fructose and fiber have the potential to cause gas and bloating when fermented in the large intestine. The sugars, or fructose, that make these available fruits so delicious also make digestion hard and cause bloating. If you eat the skin, apples and pears can also contain a lot of difficult-to-process fiber. Compared to raw apples, cooked ones may be easier to digest. Other fruits, such bananas, blueberries, grapefruit, mandarin oranges, strawberries, bananas, blueberries, etc can be eaten instead.
