Dried mango slices

FODMAP/SIBO Rating

Avoid

Serving Size Consideration: One small handful

Safe Serving Size: Maximum 1-2 small pieces

Active Compounds: Fructose, Sorbitol

Fermentation Level:
High

Digestive Impact

Why it's problematic: High in both excess fructose and polyols

Specific symptoms: Bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea

Typical reaction time frame: Typically within 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption

Individual variation: Tolerance varies significantly between individuals

Safe Alternatives

Substitution ratio: 1:1 replacement

Processing Effects

Drying concentrates FODMAPs, making them more problematic than fresh mango

Smaller pieces may lead to faster fermentation

Stacking Considerations

Avoid combining with:

  • honey
  • apples
  • pears
  • watermelon
  • dried cranberries

Safe complementary foods: Can be combined with low FODMAP proteins and fats to slow absorption

Reintroduction Guidelines
  1. Start with 10g (about 2-3 small pieces) of dried mango
  2. Wait 24 hours to assess tolerance
  3. If well tolerated, increase to 15g after 3 successful trials
  4. Maximum test portion should not exceed 20g

Signs of success: No digestive symptoms within 24 hours of consumption

Individual Variables

Factors affecting tolerance:

  • Individual fructose absorption capacity
  • Stress levels
  • Time of consumption
  • Portion size

Tip: Keep a food diary to track your personal tolerance threshold
