Is mustard seed low FODMAP?

Mustard seed is low FODMAP at typical servings (1 tsp (2g)).

Whole mustard seed is low at a culinary teaspoon, popped in oil for Indian dishes or used in pickling. It is a high-sulfur food, so ISO (hydrogen sulfide overproduction) patterns may want to go easy. Prepared jarred mustard is also low plain, but flavored ones can add garlic, onion, or honey.

SIBO note

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