Serving size, prep, and portion notes for green bell pepper
Green bell pepper is a nightshade and it is high in salicylates, the two triggers most likely to make it a problem even though it is low FODMAP. It is picked unripe, which is exactly what sets it apart from red: green is lower in sugars and FODMAPs than red bell pepper, while both share the same nightshade and salicylate load.
Watch for
A nightshade (grade E), so it can be a trigger if you react to tomato, potato or aubergine / High in salicylates (grade D), a separate trigger from the nightshade angle / High in lectins, worth noting if you follow a lectin-limited approach / Low FODMAP, and notably lower in FODMAPs than red bell pepper, so gut symptoms are less likely to come from fermentation
