1 clove (3 g) or more
One of the highest-fructan foods; a single clove is enough to set many people off — skip it during elimination and use garlic-infused oil for the flavor without the fructans. No usable serve exists: one testing programme finds no low amount at all, and the other passes only a 1 g sliver while failing a whole 3 g clove.
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.
