Department of Gastroenterology FODMAP diet updates: Coconut water
The
Translational Nutrition research group receives many enquiries
about the FODMAP content of coconut water. Recent testing has shown that coconut
water, at a standard serving size of 250 ml (8.45 fluid oz), is high in FODMAPs
(overall rating is red). The serving size of 250 ml contains high amounts of
the Polyol- sorbitol and moderate amounts of the Oligos-fructans. Intake at
this serving size should be avoided. See link:
