Is Potato chips (sour cream & onion) 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 (sour cream & onion)?

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

Good to know

Sour cream & onion (and the closely related cream-cheese-and-onion variant) leans even harder on dairy than cheese & onion: sour cream powder, buttermilk solids, and milk powder all stack lactose. Onion powder + chives + (often) garlic powder push fructans above cutoff in the same bag.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Sour-cream/cream-cheese seasoning blends combine sour cream/buttermilk/milk powder (lactose above 1 g/serve) with onion powder and chives; both groups exceed Varney 2017 cutoffs at one 30 g bag.
• 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.
