Serving size, prep, and portion notes for celery
Celery is about as low-calorie and clean as vegetables get: no histamine, no salicylates, no gluten and no dairy. Its one genuine trigger is mannitol, a sugar alcohol that makes it high FODMAP, which is exactly why "is celery low FODMAP" gets asked so often. If celery bloats you, the polyol is the culprit, not some hidden reactivity.
Watch for
High in mannitol, a polyol FODMAP, so larger amounts can cause bloating and wind in a sensitive gut / Only a small serving stays low FODMAP; the mannitol adds up quickly as the portion grows / Mildly higher in nickel and oxalates than the cleanest vegetables, a minor note for people managing those specifically / Otherwise a very safe, non-reactive vegetable with no histamine or salicylate concern
