Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A low-FODMAP diet is designed to reduce the intake of foods that are high in fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols, which can cause symptoms like flatulence and abdominal pain in sensitive individuals. Apples, garlic, and wheat are high in FODMAPs and would not be recommended on this diet. Cucumbers, on the other hand, are low in FODMAPs and would be suitable for someone following a low-FODMAP diet.
