Jam is low FODMAP only up to a point. Safe serving: 2 tablespoons of jam made from a safe fruit. Beyond that it becomes a problem. The FODMAP group responsible is excess fructose. The fruit decides it. Strawberry, raspberry and marmalade are fine at a couple of tablespoons; apple, pear, apricot, plum and mixed-berry versions are not. Avoid anything sweetened with fruit juice concentrate.
