Mashed potato

Moderate FODMAP (Caution)Potato + milk + butter

Is mashed potato low FODMAP?

Mashed potato is moderate FODMAP, safe in limited portions (Potato + milk + butter).

Potato and butter are fine; regular milk adds lactose, and restaurant versions often add garlic. Lactose-free milk and no garlic keep it low.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Mashed potato contains lactose, fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

Portion threshold

Regular milk adds lactose; added garlic adds fructans. Single typical servings stay in the rated range; larger servings push past the threshold.
