Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores nectarine at a serving of 1 1/2 tbsp diced (18 g); at 1/2 nectarine or more (about 75 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.

How much is OK?
This food's verdict depends on the serving. The bands below show where the load builds, group by group.
Sorbitol
Figures are for yellow-fleshed fruit weighed as diced flesh — one medium nectarine (150 g) is a high serve, so this is a few slices through a fruit salad rather than a whole fruit. White-fleshed nectarines test more forgiving (low near half a fruit, 67 g) — the opposite of peaches, where white is the stricter one; current datasets also flag fructans alongside the sorbitol.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
