What to know about gravy
Gravy is a hidden source of gluten and onion for a lot of people. Traditional gravy is thickened with wheat flour, so it is high in gluten and adds fructans, and it is usually built on onion plus a stock cube or bouillon, which pushes it high in fructans and free glutamate. That combination makes gravy high-FODMAP and a frequent trigger even when the meal around it looks safe.
Watch for
- Thickened with wheat flour, so standard gravy contains gluten and is off-limits on a celiac or gluten-free diet unless it is specifically made gluten-free
- High in fructans from both the wheat flour and the onion or onion powder that flavours most gravy, which is the FODMAP behind the bloating
- High in free glutamate from stock cubes, bouillon and gravy granules, a trigger for people sensitive to MSG-like umami
- Often carries a moderate sulfite load from commercial stock and gravy mixes
