Is Garlic Low FODMAP?
Garlic is high FODMAP — only servings up to 1/4 clove (0.75 g) test low. It's best avoided during the elimination phase.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 clove (0.75 g) | Low | — |
| 1 clove (3 g) | High | — |
Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.
Which FODMAPs are in garlic?
During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating garlic depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.
Good to know
High in fructans. Garlic-infused oil is low FODMAP (Monash University).
From the community
Garlic roasted until golden may be tolerated by some.
