Italian dressing

High FODMAP (Avoid)1 tbsp (15g)

Is italian dressing low FODMAP?

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

Bottled Italian dressing almost always lists garlic and onion powder, which carry fructans, so the usual 2 tbsp pour is high. Look for a certified low-FODMAP brand, or if you made your own, log the homemade version instead of this one.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Italian dressing contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

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