Serving thresholds

Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.

Which FODMAPs are in leek, white bulb?

During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating leek, white bulb depends on your personal threshold for Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

The white bulb of a leek concentrates fructans much like onion; only the green tops are low-FODMAP.

Where these numbers come from

• Peer-reviewed paper: Muir JG et al. (2007) Fructan and free fructose content of common Australian vegetables and fruit. J Agric Food Chem 55(16):6619–27.
• Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.

Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
