Is orange juice low FODMAP?
FODMAP score
35
Moderate
In small portions — Orange Juice is moderate in FODMAPs. Portion size decides whether it triggers symptoms.
FODMAPs present
Low-FODMAP serving
1/3 glass (70 ml), freshly squeezed
Becomes high FODMAP at
reconstituted juice in any amount; fresh beyond just under 1/2 glass (97 ml)
Freshly squeezed orange juice re-tested generously — about half a cup sits low, and it now anchors the fructose challenge in updated protocols. Reconstituted (from-concentrate) juice is high in any amount, so the label matters more than the pour.
Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores orange juice at a serving of 1/3 glass (70 ml), freshly squeezed; at reconstituted juice in any amount; fresh beyond just under 1/2 glass (97 ml) 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.
Excess Fructose
Juicing strips the fiber and a full glass packs the sugars of 2-3 oranges, so fresh-squeezed carries the same fructose load as store-bought. A whole orange stays low-FODMAP at one fruit; with juice, pour a small half-glass instead of a tumbler.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
