Serving size, prep, and portion notes for pecans
Pecans are one of the lower-FODMAP tree nuts, so a small handful often sits well with a sensitive gut where cashews or pistachios would not. The catch is elsewhere: pecans are high in oxalates and high in nickel. If you get kidney stones or have a systemic nickel allergy, the low-FODMAP win does not carry over to those triggers.
Watch for
Lower FODMAP than most nuts at a small serving (about 10 halves), so easier on IBS than cashews or pistachios in modest amounts / High in oxalates, a trigger to limit if you form calcium-oxalate kidney stones / High in nickel, worth watching on a low-nickel diet / Only moderate in salicylates, usually fine unless you are very salicylate-sensitive
