There are a few types of fruit that you can enjoy in only a very small serving, such as apples. Granny smith apples are low FODMAP in a serving of 25 grams. Pink lady apples in a serving of 20 grams.

I enjoy apples in a small serving sometimes. For example, grating a little bit on top of my breakfast or using it in a cake.

Check out these two recipes with apples:

• Low FODMAP apple crumble bars
• Low FODMAP apple cinnamon muffins

How much fruit can I eat per serving?

I would recommend eating around 100 to 150 grams of fruit per serving. And to eat such a serving a maximum of two times per day.

Because most fruits are low FODMAP in smaller servings, it is recommended to only eat one serving of fruit at a time and to leave 3 to 4 hours between each serving.

If you want to combine two kinds of fruits in a meal, it is important that you don’t stack FODMAPs. And I would recommend sticking to the serving size of a maximum of 150 grams per serving.

So in that case you can have two smaller servings of each fruit.

How to eat enough fruit on the low FODMAP diet?

Maybe you find it hard to get your servings of fruit each day when fruits are often limited low FODMAP. In this blog about eating enough fruit and veggies on the FODMAP diet, I share my tips.

Fruit is relatively low in calories, rich in fibers, and contains micronutrients that are good for your body.

Eating a variety of fruit and vegetables is also important for your gut health. So it is a good idea to try getting your 2 servings of fruit each day!
