Are potato products low FODMAP?
Products made from potatoes are also low FODMAP in most cases. Monash University mentions a few in their app.
Potato starch is also in the FODMAP app and is low FODMAP up to an amount of 100 grams per meal.
The same goes for potato chips. It should be noted that it is generally advised in the app not to eat products that contain a lot of sugar or fat in large quantities.
Pay attention to additives with chips. Flavored chips often contain additives that are not low FODMAP, such as onion and garlic. Plain salted potato chips are usually a safe choice.
