Is Potato chips (ranch) Low FODMAP?

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 potato chips (ranch)?

During reintroduction, test the groups above one at a time — tolerating potato chips (ranch) depends on your personal threshold for Lactose, Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Ranch seasoning is the buttermilk + sour cream + onion + garlic powder + herb formula on a chip: lactose-heavy from the dairy powders, fructan-heavy from the alliums. Both groups exceed cutoff in one small bag — same logic as ranch dressing already in this seed.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Ranch seasoning combines buttermilk/sour cream powder with onion and garlic powder; lactose and fructan loads above cutoffs at one 30 g bag, mirroring the ranch-dressing class rule already in this seed.
• 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.
