High FODMAP
Chicken Bouillon
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Chicken bouillon concentrates roasted chicken, vegetables, salt, and spices into a shelf-stable flavor base. Pure meat and salt contain zero fermentable carbohydrates, making them safe for sensitive digestive systems. Commercial bouillon frequently adds onion powder, garlic extract, and yeast-based thickeners to enhance savory notes and reduce costs. These concentrated additions quickly elevate fructan levels and complicate IBS symptom management during cooking. Reading ingredient labels carefully prevents accidental exposure to high-FODMAP triggers.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Seek certified garlic-free and onion-free bouillon cubes or pastes to ensure consistent digestive tolerance during simmering. Simmer chicken bones with low-FODMAP vegetables like carrots, celery, and leek tops to create a rich homemade alternative. Store commercial bouillon in a cool, dry pantry and use within the expiration window to preserve flavor intensity.
