Is Dijon mustard Low FODMAP?
Dijon mustard is moderate FODMAP — it can fit a low-FODMAP diet, but only up to 1 tsp (5 g). Larger servings are likely to trigger symptoms.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 1 tsp (5 g) | Low | Class rule |
| 2 tbsp (30 g) | Moderate | Class rule |
Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.
Which FODMAPs are in dijon mustard?
During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating dijon mustard depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.
Good to know
A teaspoon of Dijon is fine; some recipes contain garlic or wine that push fructans up at sauce-base serves.
Where these numbers come from
- Derivation note: Mustard seed + white wine + vinegar; small condiment serves stay below cutoffs.
- Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.
- Derivation note: Sauce-base serves accumulate fructans from garlic/onion (when present in some recipes) plus residual wine; recipes vary.
Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
