Question at hand addresses whether sensitivity to FODMAPs is an all-or-none phenomenon. 
Option 1: 'True' would assert that if you are sensitive to one type of FODMAP, you cannot consume any FODMAPs at all. This interpretation suggests a universal and absolute intolerance across all FODMAP categories, leaving no room for partial tolerance or varying thresholds. In nutrition science and practical dietary management, such a blanket rule is not supported, because individuals commonly tolerate certain FODMAP subtypes better than others, and the degree of sensitivity can differ. 
Option 2: 'False' asserts that sensitivity is not all-or-none, acknowledging that people may react to some FODMAPs while tolerating others, and that amounts matter as well as individual gut physiology, gut microbiota, and symptom profiles. This view aligns with how elimination and reintroduction protocols are used clinically to map tolerances, rather than treating FODMAP sensitivity as an absolute blockade. 
Option 1’s claim rests on a binary, overgeneralized premise that ignores gradations in thresholds, dose-dependent responses, and the possibility of selective sensitivity. It also conflates sensitivity to a specific FODMAP with an inability to tolerate any FODMAPs, which is not how most individuals experience symptoms. 
Option 2’s stance recognizes nuance: some people may react to certain FODMAPs while others are fine with them in smaller or larger amounts, and tolerance can vary with context such as meal composition, portion size, and individual gut function. This accounts for dose-response relationships and the concept of a tolerable threshold rather than a strict prohibition. 
Additionally, considering physiological mechanisms, FODMAP sensitivity involves osmotic effects and fermentation by gut bacteria that can differ by molecule type (for example, some sugars versus polyols), thus not all FODMAPs are equally problematic for everyone. This supports a non-all-or-none interpretation. 
In sum, the reasoning across options points away from an absolute, universal intolerance and toward a nuanced, dose-dependent perspective where partial tolerances exist and vary among individuals. The false characterization would be to claim universal restriction based on single sensitivity, while the true characterization would acknowledge variable tolerance and thresholds.
