Eggplant

Portion-sensitive

Why this food shows up for IBS

This item often triggers IBS through fat, caffeine, alcohol, or additives rather than classic FODMAP carbs. Eggplant tolerance is dose-dependent — Monash-style portions help you keep flavor without crossing your symptom line. Stack fewer triggers in the same meal when symptoms are active.
