Serving size, prep, and portion notes for broccoli
Broccoli is one of the most anti-inflammatory vegetables you can eat, which is why its trigger profile catches people off guard: it is high in salicylates, high in free glutamates, and carries mannitol, a FODMAP polyol. Searches for "is broccoli high in salicylate" or "why does broccoli upset my stomach" almost always trace back to one of those three, not to histamine.
Watch for
High in salicylates (grade D), a real trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich plants / High in free glutamates, the natural umami compound that can bother people who are sensitive to MSG-like foods / Contains mannitol and fructans, so the stalks and larger servings are the parts most likely to cause gas and bloating / Rated poorly for SIBO, where even moderate fermentable fibre can flare symptoms
