Are Almonds Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

Low FODMAP only up to the serving size listed — larger servings stack.

Safe serving

10 nuts, or 24 g of almond meal

FODMAP group responsible

  • GOS — Oligosaccharides. Galacto-oligosaccharides — legumes, pulses and some nuts.

Why

Low FODMAP at about ten nuts. Almond meal carries the same limit by weight, which is why an almond-flour cake needs to be cut into small slices rather than generous ones.
