    Fructan sensitivity 🥲 I appreciate the flavor they add, buuut don’t appreciate how they digest in my body. I carry food enzymes with me when I’m out though- kind of hard to avoid when I’m not the one cooking. I do want to try adding them to my oil infusions sometime!

      Yeah completely valid here. I got corn intolerance so samesies. I should see if they sell enzyme pills for that.

        I’ve never heard of that. do you live in the US? I can’t imagine living here and not being able to eat corn derivatives

          Not only do I live in the US but I also really like mexican food which manages to be even MORE corn-centric.

          Could be along the same lines as my fructan sensitivity. Corn is high in sorbitol which some can have intolerances or sensitivity to. Some people can get away with a small serving and certain processed forms, while others have to avoid it altogether. I think it’s one of the few FODMAP antagonists that doesn’t have an enzyme yet 🥲 Could also be something totally different! They would also potentially be sensitive to peaches, apricots or other foods with pits or seeds in them if it was a sorbitol sensitivity.

      This, so much this. I turn into a walking war crime if I happen to eat any onion, no thanks.
