Pate

High FODMAP (Avoid)Usually onion, garlic, and cream

Is pate low FODMAP?

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

Pate is built on liver plus onion or shallot, garlic, and often cream or port, so most commercial pate is high in fructans. The liver itself is fine, so a homemade allium-free pate spread thinly is the low route.

FODMAP subgroups to watch

Pate contains fructans that can drive SIBO symptoms.

SIBO note

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

A single food is only half the story. Eating pate in a bigger meal? See how it stacks with the rest of your plate.
