What to know about garlic powder
Garlic powder is one of the highest-FODMAP ingredients in an ordinary kitchen. Drying and grinding concentrate the fructans, so a small shake carries the fructan load of several fresh cloves. That is why garlic powder is a leading hidden trigger for IBS and SIBO, and why it turns up in spice blends, stock, dressings, crisps and "natural flavour" where you least expect it.
Watch for
- Extremely high in fructans (grade E), the FODMAP behind gas, bloating and cramping in sensitive guts
- Concentrated: dehydrating garlic packs far more fructan per teaspoon than the same weight of fresh clove
- Rated poorly for SIBO, and it hides in seasoning mixes, sauces, stock and processed snacks
- Fructans do not dissolve in oil, so garlic-infused oil (the oil, not the solids) carries the flavour without the FODMAP
