Low FODMAP notes
In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or 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.
Garlic-infused oil is a popular way to add garlic flavor on the low FODMAP diet. Monash University suggests a serving size of 1 tablespoon (20 ml), though it has been tested as low FODMAP in much larger amounts (up to 500 grams). Learn more about why it's generally well tolerated in my Low FODMAP Garlic and Onion Substitutes post. Both Fody Foods Garlic-Infused Olive Oil and Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil have been tested and were certified.
Gluten-free pasta is considered low FODMAP in servings of 1 cup (cooked) or 145 grams. Not all gluten-free pasta products are created equal. To help keep things low FODMAP, select pasta products made with rice, corn, or quinoa.
Low FODMAP Italian Seasoning: Some packaged Italian seasoning blends contain high FODMAP onion or garlic powder. Double-check ingredients before purchasing.
Simply Organic Italian Seasoning and McCormick Gourmet Italian Seasoning are two blends that do not contain garlic or onion. Or, consider making your own.
Spinach is low FODMAP in servings of 1 ½ cups or 75 grams. Larger servings contain higher amounts of fructans.
