Is Bok choy Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

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

Safe serving

75 g cooked, about 1 cup

FODMAP group responsible

  • Fructans — Oligosaccharides. Wheat, onion, garlic. The most common trigger and the hardest to avoid.

Why

Common bok choy is low FODMAP at 1 cup cooked. The name gets applied loosely at supermarkets, and wombok, choy sum and savoy cabbage all have different thresholds — check what you actually bought.
