Is Mayonnaise Low FODMAP?
Yes, plain mayonnaise is low FODMAP. Classic mayo is just oil, egg and vinegar or lemon juice — none of which contain meaningful FODMAPs. The caution is flavoured varieties like garlic aioli or 'light' mayos with added thickeners.

Why is Mayonnaise low FODMAP?
Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil and egg yolk, both FODMAP-free. Monash University lists regular mayonnaise as low FODMAP. Problems come from additions: garlic in aioli (fructans), onion powder in some flavoured mayos, high fructose corn syrup in some sweetened brands, and inulin or polydextrose sometimes used as fat replacers in light versions.
Serving guidance for Mayonnaise
Regular mayonnaise is low FODMAP at typical servings of 1–2 tablespoons, and remains low even in generous amounts. If you notice symptoms after mayo-heavy meals, the fat content itself can be a non-FODMAP trigger for some people with IBS — smaller servings usually fix that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is mayonnaise low FODMAP?
Yes — plain mayonnaise made from oil, egg and vinegar is low FODMAP. Check flavoured and light versions for garlic, onion, or inulin.
Can I eat mayonnaise if I have IBS?
Most people with IBS tolerate plain mayonnaise. If it seems to trigger symptoms, fat sensitivity or a flavoured variety with garlic or onion is the more likely culprit than FODMAPs.
Is garlic aioli low FODMAP?
No. Aioli made with real garlic carries fructans. Garlic-infused oil versions can be fine, since fructans do not dissolve into oil — check how the product is made.
Is light or low-fat mayonnaise low FODMAP?
Not always. Some light mayos replace fat with inulin, polydextrose or other fermentable fibres. Read the ingredient list — full-fat plain mayo is the safer default.
What mayonnaise brands or types should I choose?
Any brand whose ingredient list is oil, egg, vinegar or lemon, salt and mustard is low FODMAP. Avoid versions listing garlic, onion, honey, HFCS or inulin.
