Is baked beans low FODMAP?

Baked beans is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Standard supermarket baked beans are built on haricot (navy) beans, so they are high in GOS, and most tins add onion and garlic plus sweeteners. Only a couple of tablespoons would be low, which is not how anyone eats them. A homemade allium-free version with canned and rinsed butter beans is the safer route.

SIBO note
