FODMAP Stacking: The Whole Meal Matters
Several individually low-FODMAP portions can contribute to a larger combined FODMAP load when eaten together. A green rating is portion-specific, not an unlimited allowance.
- Check the listed portion for each ingredient.
- Consider repeated ingredients and overlapping FODMAP groups across a meal.
- Adjust portion size, spacing, or ingredient mix based on personal response.
