Does avocado cause bloating?

Short answer

Sorbitol rises with the servingAvocado contains sorbitol, so portion makes a large difference. Its fat can also prolong fullness after a rich meal.
FODMAP readPortion dependent

A small serving can sit better; larger amounts raise the sorbitol load.

01

Two ways it can happen

  1. 01

    Sorbitol is a polyol that can draw water into the bowel and feed fermentation.

  2. 02

    Avocado often arrives with onion, garlic, beans or wheat in the same meal, which stacks several suspects.

02

Portion changes the test

A few slices and a full bowl of guacamole are different tests.

03

Run a clean meal test

Try a small measured serving beside a simple meal. Leave onion and garlic out of the guacamole or topping.
