Is Courgette (zucchini) Low FODMAP?

Portion-dependent

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

Safe serving

65 g, roughly one third of a medium one

FODMAP group responsible

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

Why

Low FODMAP at 65 g and moderate above that on fructans. The threshold is lower than most people assume, and a whole courgette in one portion is over it.
