Why it may matter

Garlic is one of the highest FODMAP foods — it's packed with fructans (a type of oligosaccharide) that ferment rapidly in the gut. Even a clove can trigger bloating, gas, and cramps in IBS-sensitive guts.

Gentler swap ideas

Garlic-infused olive oil - All the flavor without the fructans. FODMAPs are not oil-soluble, so infused oil gives you garlic taste without the fermentation.

These are common lower-FODMAP-style swaps, not guarantees. Check labels and track your own tolerance.
