Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for certain ingredients that are either frequently asked about or that have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.
Corn tortillas: In general, the low FODMAP serving for corn tortillas is 2 tortillas or 47 grams. If you’re lucky enough to find corn tortillas made without added gums or fiber, the low FODMAP serving bumps up to 3 tortillas or 57 grams.
Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add low FODMAP garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. My current favorite is Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil (technically a garlic-flavored oil) that has been confirmed to be low FODMAP by Monash University. Learn more about why garlic-infused oil is okay in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post.
Jalapeños are low FODMAP in servings of 1 small pepper (or 29 grams). Larger servings contain higher levels of the FODMAP group, excess fructose. Chili also peppers contain capsaicin which can be a non-FODMAP trigger for some people. Avoid if you suspect spicy food is an issue.
Low FODMAP taco seasoning is an easy way to add flavor to low FODMAP dishes. Many store-bought taco seasonings contain high FODMAP onion or garlic. Instead, I use Fody Foods Taco Seasoning (certified low FODMAP by Monash University) or make my own.
Green bell pepper is low FODMAP in ½ cup or 75-gram servings. Larger servings contain higher amounts of fructan.
Red bell pepper is a FODMAP-free food. 2022 Update: Monash University retested red bell pepper and found it to contain FODMAPs. A low FODMAP serving of red bell pepper is now considered to be ⅓ cup or 43 grams. Larger servings contain moderate to high amounts of excess fructose. Peppers and chili peppers also contain capsaicin which can be a non-FODMAP trigger for some people. Avoid if you suspect spicy food is an issue.
Optional garnishes
Green onion tops – the green part of green onions – are low in FODMAPs and should be tolerated by most on the low FODMAP diet. Avoid the white bulb, which is high in FODMAPs. Learn more → Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes.

Doesn’t hot sauce typically contain both onion and garlic? I understand those are both no-no on the low FODMAP diet. I am still trying to figure this all out.

Great question, SJ! I am referring to the original red Tabasco sauce. I’ll add that into the recipe as I can see there might be different interpretations of “hot sauce”. 🙂 The ingredients for the original Tabasco sauce are just vinegar, chili peppers, and salt. This is technically low FODMAP, as long as you tolerate pepper. Capsaicin (the compound that gives peppers their heat) is known to aggravate symptoms in some people with IBS.
