About Fructans and Galactans (part of the FODMAPs):
Fructans and Galactans are part of the FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols). FODMAPs are carbohydrates that are poorly digested and poorly absorbed in the small intestine. Those FODMAP’s will be fermented by bacteria in the colon. This results in the production of gas and gastric discomfort.
Fructans and galactans are oligosaccharides which consists of a chain of several carbohydrates. Fructans and galactans cannot be digested and absorbed in our small intestine for those that are intolerant, because they do not produce an enzyme to cut the fructans and galactans into pieces. They will be transported to the colon, where they will be fermented by bacteria. Fructans are contained in foods such as wheat products, garlic, onions, leek, figs and dates. Galactans can be found in beans, legumes and cashew nuts.
