Fajitas

High FODMAP (Avoid)Sauteed onion, wheat tortilla, seasoning

Is fajitas low FODMAP?

Fajitas is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Fajitas are built on sauteed onion plus onion and garlic powder in the seasoning, and served in wheat tortillas, with red bell pepper adding fructose in quantity. A safer build skips onion for scallion greens, uses a homemade onion- and garlic-free spice and garlic-infused oil, and corn tortillas.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Fajitas contains fructans, excess fructose that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

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