Serving size, prep, and portion notes for bok choy
Bok choy is the brassica that behaves. It is graded strongly anti-inflammatory, low in oxalate (a real difference from spinach and chard), low histamine, and mild rather than heavy on FODMAPs, which is not something you can say about cauliflower or a bowl of cabbage. The honest caveat is salicylates, where it lands moderate, and volume: the FODMAP rating is mild, not zero, so a whole wok of it is a bigger ask than a side portion.
Watch for
Moderate salicylate rating, the only food-chemistry flag it carries. If you are on a strict salicylate elimination it counts toward your daily total even though it is far below the high-salicylate produce / Mild FODMAP rating rather than a clean one, so standard side-dish servings suit most sensitive guts while very large volumes can still push symptoms / The stir-fry, not the green, is often the trigger: soy sauce brings gluten and free glutamate, garlic and onion bring fructans, and oyster sauce brings both. Cook it plain first if you are testing it
