Moderate FODMAP Vegetables

Is Sweet potato Moderate FODMAP?

Sweet potato is moderate FODMAP - tolerated by some at small portions and trigger-prone for others. The trigger is polyols (sorbitol, mannitol or xylitol) which are slow to absorb and draw water into the bowel. Stick to a half-cup portion to stay symptom-free.
