Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores cabbage at a serving of 1 cup (75 g) shredded; at larger than 1 cup (100 g) 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.
Based on published FODMAP research and reviewed reference data. Informational only — not medical advice. Tolerance is individual; verify with a dietitian during the elimination phase.
How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Sorbitol
Weigh it raw and shredded; cooking collapses the volume but not the sorbitol, so a cooked cupful is well past the raw-weight limit. Fermented cabbage behaves differently and isn't covered by these figures.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
