Caesar dressing

High FODMAP (Avoid)1 tbsp (15g)

Is caesar dressing low FODMAP?

Caesar dressing is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Most bottled Caesar dressings carry garlic and onion powder plus anchovy, so a normal pour stacks fructans. A homemade version using garlic-infused oil instead of garlic is fine at 2 to 3 tbsp; a few certified brands also make a low-FODMAP Caesar.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Caesar dressing contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

Watch this one for ISO (hydrogen sulfide overproduction). Caesar dressing contains sulfur compounds, and ISO patterns can be more sensitive to these, especially in larger servings.
