Guacamole (homemade)

Moderate FODMAP (Caution)Safe to 2 tbsp (40g)

Is guacamole (homemade) low FODMAP?

Guacamole (homemade) is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Safe to 2 tbsp (40g)).

Mashed avocado with lime, salt, cilantro, and the green tops of spring onion, with garlic-infused oil in place of garlic, keeps a couple of tablespoons gentle. It stays yellow rather than green because the avocado underneath is still portion-limited on sorbitol, so the amount matters even without the alliums.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Guacamole (homemade) contains sorbitol that can drive SIBO symptoms.

Portion threshold

Sorbitol from the avocado climbs past about 2 tbsp. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.

SIBO note

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