High FODMAP
Vegetable Bouillon
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Vegetable bouillon concentrates roasted vegetables, salt, and spices into a shelf-stable flavor base. Pure vegetables and salt contain negligible fermentable carbohydrates and remain highly compatible with sensitive digestion. Commercial preparations frequently add onion powder, garlic extract, or wheat-based thickeners to enhance savory notes. 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.

Seek certified garlic-free and onion-free vegetable bouillon cubes or pastes to ensure consistent digestive tolerance during simmering. Simmer 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.
