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.

Capers are low FODMAP in servings of 1 tablespoon or 8 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.

Lemon juice is low FODMAP in servings up to a ½ cup or 125 grams.

Olives contain minimal FODMAPs. Enjoy according to your appetite.

Parsley is a low FODMAP herb. Fresh parsley has been tested and is low FODMAP in servings up to 1 cup or 16 grams.

Why do people always say that you either love or hate something, that’s not at all true, I often fall into the in-between! Olives are okay.

  Fair statement, Violet. In my experience working with nutrition clients, it has overwhelmingly been one feeling or the other towards olives.
