Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores pumpkin at a serving of about 1 cup, diced (161g); at 1 1/3 cups, diced (206g) 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.
Fructans
Sold as kent, jap or kabocha, all the same dense orange-fleshed squash; the allowance is far larger than butternut, and charts capping it near 75 g reflect older testing.
Bands reflect published FODMAP research for typical preparations — individual tolerance varies, especially mid-reintroduction.
