Why it may matter
Traditional pesto usually contains garlic and sometimes cashews, both of which can be high-FODMAP triggers. A small spoon may still be too much for someone early in elimination.
Gentler swap ideas
Garlic-free basil sauce - Use basil, olive oil, hard cheese, pine nuts if tolerated, and skip garlic cloves or garlic powder.
These are common lower-FODMAP-style swaps, not guarantees. Check labels and track your own tolerance.
