Good to know

Peas are listed as low FODMAP in typical servings in our database, but fructans rise as the portion grows. A spoonful in fried rice is a very different load from a big side of mushy peas.

Snow peas are also low FODMAP in typical amounts. Split peas and pea protein products are different and can be higher, so check them separately.

Peas on a low FODMAP diet

  • Peas can be part of your diet during the elimination phase.
  • Low FODMAP ratings apply to typical servings. Several low FODMAP foods in one meal can add up, an effect called FODMAP stacking.
  • Watch what they come with: sauces, seasonings and ready-made versions often add garlic, onion or honey.
