FODMAP/SIBO Rating
Serving Size Consideration: One small handful
Safe Serving Size: Maximum 1-2 small pieces
Active Compounds: Fructose, Sorbitol
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
Drying concentrates FODMAPs, making them more problematic than fresh mango
Smaller pieces may lead to faster fermentation
Avoid combining with:
- honey
- apples
- pears
- watermelon
- dried cranberries
Safe complementary foods: Can be combined with low FODMAP proteins and fats to slow absorption
- Start with 10g (about 2-3 small pieces) of dried mango
- Wait 24 hours to assess tolerance
- If well tolerated, increase to 15g after 3 successful trials
- Maximum test portion should not exceed 20g
Signs of success: No digestive symptoms within 24 hours of consumption
Common products containing garlic:

Alternative names: dehydrated mango, mango strips, mango snacks, preserved mango
Factors affecting tolerance:
- Overall FODMAP load for the day
- Individual fructose absorption capacity
- Stress levels
- Time of consumption
- Portion size
Tip: Keep a food diary to track your personal tolerance threshold
