Is bone broth low FODMAP?
FODMAP score
75
High FODMAP
No — Bone Broth is high FODMAP and is a common trigger for IBS symptoms in typical servings.
FODMAPs present
Low-FODMAP serving
1 cup (250 ml) made from bones, water, salt and low-FODMAP aromatics only
Becomes high FODMAP at
any commercial broth listing onion, garlic, or unspecified natural flavours
Bones, water and salt contribute no FODMAPs at all, but nearly every commercial carton, powder and traditional recipe simmers onion and garlic, and those Fructans are water-soluble so they end up in the liquid even after the solids are strained out. Homemade without them, or a broth certified low-FODMAP, is the version that scores low.

Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores bone broth at a serving of 1 cup (250 ml) made from bones, water, salt and low-FODMAP aromatics only; at any commercial broth listing onion, garlic, or unspecified natural flavours it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
