I really enjoy your blog and find it very inspiring.
The broth packets look very similar to the ones sold by Trader Joe’s. Do you know if those are also free of onion & garlic? Thank you.

In reply to Seevan. I haven't seen a suitable vegetable broth.

Dang, it’s too bad there isn’t a veggie broth. Have you come across one that is FODMAP free?

Hi Kate

I just wanted to say “thank you” for sharing these low FODMAP broths. I haven’t had soup in a few years. I just don’t have the time to make my own stock…and I am highly sensitive to garlic and onions.

I ordered the chicken flavored broth from Amazon. Last night, I made my first soup (from your 21 Day Tummy book)…and it was fabulous! Thank you so much!!!! Sometimes it’s the little things…

Hi Kate!

First of all, I would like to say that you are a great inspiration when it comes to the low FODMAP diet. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge!

Im a nutritionist residing in Norway, and I do a lot of low FODMAP work here as well. I am looking over some of the broths available in the supermarkeds have only found a few that does not contain onions or garlic. I thought I had found a fish broth, the ingredientlist did not contain onions. But, of course – it contained “spices”. Hence I send an email to the producer and asked if the “spices” included any form of onions or garlic, which it did. 1,3 % onionpowder. Now, finally – my question is: Should this broth be avoided, or is the FODMAP content so low that it would be ok for most people with IBS?

Are any of these available in the UK? I don’t fancy paying extortionate postage and packing from the US 🙂

Just thought I’d share: another possible broth option for the low-FODMAP diet is Progresso’s new Tuscany chicken broth. The only listed ingredients are: Chicken Broth, Salt, Sugar, Natural Flavor (including thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, and marjoram).
I contacted the company to find out if there were any other “natural flavors” listed on the label, and they confirmed that the only ingredients were the ones listed. I am highly fodmap-intolerant, but I have been using this broth for the last few months without any adverse effects.
It’s troublesome to find in the supermarkets, but I can find it easily enough online and have it delivered to home.

We found the chicken broth to be a little weak so I used 2 packets with 1 1/2 cups water and it was much more flavorful. Added rice and carrots and had a quick and easy soup for lunch.
