Are Pine Nuts low-FODMAP?
Pine nuts are considered low-FODMAP in a moderate serving size. A low-FODMAP serving of pine nuts is approximately 2 tablespoons (20 grams). However, it's important to note that pine nuts are a source of oligosaccharides, which are a type of FODMAP, and may cause digestive symptoms in some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive disorders.
If you are following a low-FODMAP diet, it's recommended to stick to the appropriate serving size and monitor your symptoms. You may also wish to consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider for personalized guidance on your specific dietary needs and restrictions.
