Is Strawberry 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 strawberry?

During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating strawberry depends on your personal threshold for Fructose, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Strawberries have a near-balanced sugar profile (≈2.4 g fructose vs ≈2.0 g glucose per 100 g, USDA), giving only ≈0.45 g excess fructose per 100 g. Per Varney 2017, fresh-fruit low-FODMAP cutoff is <0.4 g excess fructose per serving, allowing a generous handful before crossing the threshold.

Where these numbers come from

• Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.
• USDA food composition: USDA FoodData Central — composition database (public domain).
• Derivation note: Excess fructose ≈0.45 g / 100 g (USDA fructose 2.44, glucose 1.99). At 80 g serving = 0.36 g excess fructose, below the 0.4 g Varney 2017 fresh-fruit cutoff.
• Derivation note: At 130 g, excess fructose ≈0.59 g per serving — above the low cutoff but below the high-FODMAP threshold.
• Derivation note: At 180 g, excess fructose ≈0.81 g per serving — exceeds the 0.7 g threshold typically used for the high-FODMAP boundary.

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