Bread, Avocado…And?
Take a look at the images above and below. First, we started with slow-rise sourdough bread, which while not gluten-free, is low FODMAP.
If you need gluten-free bread, by all means use it!
Start With Avocado & Great Bread
Starting upper left and going clockwise: we have toast, 30 grams of avocado and a topping of alfalfa sprouts.
Center top shows sourdough toast, avocado and BACON! (Yes, bacon is low FODMAP, but there are certain thinks to look for on the label).
Upper right we have a juicy tomato topping.
Bottom right is our toast, avocado (again, a 30 g portion) and a runny fried egg.
And last but not least, bottom left our toast and avocado is topped with slightly hot and spicy thinly sliced Persian cucumbers sprinkled with coarse salt and red pepper flakes.
Many Ways To Make Avocado Toast
And speaking of embellishments, there are many other low FODMAP add-ons. Think about salt and pepper, of course, but also mustard or mayo or even a dollop of low FODMAP salsa.

30 Grams of Avocado, 60 Grams, Or Maybe As Much As You Want?
Your individual tolerance to avocado is what is important. This can only be determined after a structured Elimination and Challenge Phase, which is always best undertaken with a FODMAP trained Registered Dietitian (see our International RDN Directory).
Monash University initially determined in lab testing that 30 g of avocado as what remains a low FODMAP threshold. then they doubled the suggested amount. FODMAP Friendly found no FODMAPs whatsoever. BUT, all of this was In. The. Lab.
You are not a lab.
We are fond of pointing this out, because it is all too easy to become wedded to what the numbers and portions on the Monash University Low FODMAP Diet Smartphone App and FODMAP Friendly app.
The app shows you lab tested low FODMAP amounts.
We also suggest you read this article on how and why lab tests can differ.
Your Challenge Phase will show you what YOUR tolerance is and ultimately that is what is important.
If you love avocados you owe it to yourself to determine what amounts are appropriate for you to remain symptom free.
Once you have that determined, check out our Salad Nachos and our Warm Bacon & Avocado Salad, also featuring avocados.
