- Much larger portions
Plain corn tortilla chips are Low FODMAP at 30g, moderate at 165g and high at 208g.
- Plain salted corn chips are low at 30g, a small handful, and only reach moderate at 165g and high at 208g.
- Flavored chips are a different story: seasoning blends often add onion and garlic powder.
Portion about 30g into a bowl rather than eating from the bag, and pick plain or lime-salted chips.
