Is Celery Low FODMAP?

by Kirsten Jackson Consultant Dietitian BSc Hons, RD, PG Cert Leave a Comment

Many people on a low FODMAP diet often wonder ‘is celery low FODMAP?’. Incorporating a range of vegetables in your daily life is essential to follow a healthy, balanced diet including plenty of fibre, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals (1).

A minimum of 2 portions of vegetables per day (160g) and up to 6-7 servings per day is recommended on a low FODMAP diet, with no limit on the number of vegetables that you can have in one sitting (2). However, some vegetables can be high in FODMAPs which can cause symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome.

In this article, I will explain if celery is low FODMAP including celery seeds, celery leaves, celery juice and celery root. 

P.S. (if you want recipes scroll to the end) – I have also shared some low FODMAP celery root recipes which you may find to be helpful in adding flavour to your meals!

low FODMAP celery

Is celery low FODMAP? 

Fructans and polyols which are classified as sugar alcohols are the main FODMAP’s present in vegetables (3).

Celery contains mannitol which is a type of polyol (3). However, when celery is consumed in small amounts (10g) which is the same as  ¼ of a celery stick (and only one portion per sitting), celery is low FODMAP. When higher amounts of celery are consumed (>10g) this results in a moderate to high increase in the the level of FODMAPs (2). 

A typical portion size of celery within a salad would be 1.5 of a celery stick (90g) (4). Therefore, this amount would be considered high in FODMAPs for people with IBS. Due to the small amounts of celery that are appropriate in the diet for people with IBS, it may be best to avoid celery when following a low FODMAP diet. 

It is also important to note that small amounts of celery (10g) can be reintroduced following a low FODMAP diet to assess your gastro-intestinal tolerance (2).

You can read more about the reintroduction process in our other article.

Are celery seeds low FODMAP? 

Celery seeds are whole, dried seeds of the celery plant available whole or ground. As celery seeds provide a similar flavour to celery alongside an aromatic and bitter taste, they are often used as a spice in salads, dressings, bread making, egg and fish dishes (5). 

Some reports online do suggest that celery seeds are low FODMAP when consumed in small amounts. However, this is misleading as Monash University has not tested the FODMAP content of celery seeds as of yet. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid any foods not listed as low in FODMAPs when following the low FODMAP diet (3). 

Are celery leaves low FODMAP? 

Celery leaves are contained within the outer part of the celery plant. The outer and inner leaves can be used as a flavoursome and fragrant addition to your meals when chopped up into soups, stews, sauces, purees, salads and as a garnish. They can also be dried and used as a seasoning, spice and also pickled (6).

Just as with celery seeds, the FODMAP content of celery leaves has not been tested by the Monash University as of yet either. Therefore, it is advised to avoid them as they are not listed as low in FODMAPs when following the low FODMAP diet (3). 

Celery juice and IBS

If you have IBS then you will likely have heard of the claims around celery juice being a ‘superfood’ for digestive health and your IBS symptoms. Such claims include ‘lowering inflammation, aid healing in digestion, reduce bloating and supporting weight loss’ and so on. 

However, when it comes to celery juice and IBS, the amount of celery used to make just 1 serving of celery juice is considered high FODMAP. This is because larger amounts of vegetables as well as fruits are used within juices compared to eating them on their own. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid celery juice when on a low FODMAP diet. 

To find out more about celery juice and IBS, check out my other post here.

Is Celery Root Low FODMAP? 

Celery root is considered to be low FODMAP and it can often be used as a low FODMAP substitute for celery (1). Less than ¼ of celery root or 75g is considered low FODMAP. Above this amount the mannitol content becomes moderate (2)

Celery root is a root vegetable closely related to celery, parsnips and parsley. It is otherwise known as celeriac, knob celery and turnip-root celery. It has a very similar taste to the upper stem of celery and therefore can be used as a great alternative to celery in a range of meals!

Celery root can be eaten raw or cooked in a variety of ways including mashed, boiled, baked and roasted. The great thing about celery root is that it is a high fibre vegetable with a standard serving of 100g containing 4g of fibre!

Here are my top 10 favourite low FODMAP celery root recipes! 

  1. Celeriac and Dill Mash
  2. Broccoli and Celeriac Soup
  3. Winter Vegetable Frittata with Celeriac
  4. Haddock Fish Cakes with Celeriac and Squash Mash
  5. Roasted Sweet Potato and Celeriac Macaroni
  6. Celeriac Oven Chips
  7. Celeriac Roast
  8. Seared Scallops with Celery Root Puree and Green Pesto
  9. Pomegranate Celeriac Salad
  10. Mashed Celery Root

Testing Foods not on the Monash App 

When it comes to foods that have not been tested for FODMAPs yet, the good news is that according to Monash university, you can test your own tolerance to untested foods following a low FODMAP diet (7).

Visit Monash University Website for more information on how to test your tolerance to foods that have not been tested yet. 

Summary

Only small amounts of celery (10g) can be tolerated in a low FODMAP diet, therefore it is recommended to best avoid celery in people with IBS.

The FODMAP content of celery seeds and celery leaves has not yet been tested, but as suggested by Monash University, you can test your own tolerance of these foods to identify whether they can or cannot be included in your diet and in what amounts.

Lastly, celery root is a great substitute for celery in meals as less than ¼ of celery root or 75g is considered low FODMAP.

😥 Yes, IBS has many physical symptoms such as diarrhoea and bloating however, there is so much more than just the physical symptoms. IBS is burdensome and affects all aspects of human life 😢.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🙏Instead of dealing with this awful condition alone. Makesure you embody the Take Control approach of community. This means looking into how you can connect with other people going through IBS like online FB groups or talking to friends (1 in 10 have this so the chances are one of them has it also).​​​​​​​​

DO YOU MOVE FOR YOUR GUT HEALTH? Comment below 👇​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🥵 We all know exercise is good for us, but the thought of intensive HIIT workouts doesn't exactly appeal to all of us...in fact intense exercise can actually contribute to IBS symptoms for some.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤔 But what if it didn't have to be so complicated? Instead of seeing movement as a scary and intense activity, why not try walking? - this counts as movement and has so many fabulous benefits for IBS as listed above. Movement is one of the KEY pillars of IBS management that we tackle in my Take Control Programme.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

😥 On the surface IBS is just seen as just a ‘condition affecting the digestive symptom’ however IBS is way more than what’s seen at the surface and affects all aspects of human life!! 
​​​​​​​​
🙏🏽 In the Take Control method the main focus is on the 4 core foundation of IBS management such as movement, sleep mental health and diet! The focus is on a whole lifestyle approach rather than just ‘diet’ and by making small changes to each of these areas it will lead to life changing results!​​​​​​​​

😥 IBS can be unpredictable in nature and it can feel like you never know if you’re going to have a good or bad day…You try to pinpoint a trigger but gosh is it hard 😫.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
😊 But what if you could predict the future? Identifying YOUR personal triggers and how to manage these is key to Taking Control of your IBS and is an integral part of the Take Control Programme. Why not try filling out a food and mood diary this week to see if you can pinpoint if what you eat and/or your feelings play a role? ​​​​​​​​

🙋🏼‍♀️ Have you been asked this before? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Have you been asked this before? How did it make you feel?

⏩ People with digestive problems regularly get this comment.

📸 I shared this image of me and Esme with a family member. Their response was 'are you pregnant' after I explained how offensive that was, their response was 'you look bloated.'

⏩ I was going to write the post about body image and how it is normal to have skin rolls after a baby etc. But it's actually f*****g irrelevant. How someone looks is not for you to comment on.

⏩ And the specifics around pregnancy?! imagine that person can't have children or has just lost a baby - imagine how that comment will make them feel. Or perhaps they are pregnant and guess what? They aren't ready to tell you.

✅ If someone is pregnant and they wish to tell you, they will. Other that than NEVER EVER ask 🙏.

😫 Suffering from IBS can be difficult and burdensome especially when trying to go about your daily life. IBS is a condition that cannot be seen which makes it even more difficult for others to understand and can often feel very isolating😢. 

👉 Sometimes having someone that understands can be helpful! In the Take Control Method, emotional support is seen as the foundation for IBS control - it is so important to reach out to others when you need extra support!

WHAT RULES DO YOU FOLLOW? Comment below!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😔 It can be so easy to get bogged down with the 'nitty gritty' of IBS management like FODMAPs and identifying your specific food triggers. These are important, but it can become so easy to be focused on our diet and pay no attention to other aspects of IBS management. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤔 So instead of focusing on the details, why don't we try mastering the basics that provides a solid foundation for your IBS management to grow on. Try following a few of these 'rules' this week endorsed by the Take Control Method and see how they can really help🙏.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

😢 Life can be super busy and it’s so easy to neglect your health but this will ultimately lead to your IBS being even more debilitating😔. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🤔 Instead of letting it all build up, advocate for your own health and adopt the Take Control method by prioritising yourself and your well-being! By adopting small habits into your life it can really help achieve symptom relief!​​​​​​​​

DO YOU FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THESE? 😔 Comment below DO YOU FEEL GUILTY ABOUT THESE? 😔 Comment below 👇 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
👉 Nobody ever talks about the guilt and shame that comes as a result of having IBS…this guilt then leads to worsening of IBS symptoms because it can stress you out so much….​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
👉 Imagine a life where this guilt didn’t exist because you were able to manage your IBS sufficiently? My Take Control Method enables this to become a reality. The Take Control Method is tailored to you so that you have exactly the right advice to see great improvement in your symptoms.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WHAT DO YOU NEED ON THIS HIERARCHY? ☹️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
👉 So often in IBS we are told to “just avoid your food triggers”. Often people think that simply following the low FODMAP diet will fix their IBS. But as you can see from this diagram the picture is a lot more complex than just food and other elements need to be addressed before we even consider our diet. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
👉 So instead of placing so much emphasis on your diet, start at the bottom of the hierarchy of needs and work your way slowly up from there which is the technique we use in the Take Control Method.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

😭 Comment below if you can relate 👇👇​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
😭 When you have IBS, why does everyone seem to want to voice their opinion? These unhelpful comments can leave you feeling even more alone than you already do.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🤝 Instead of suffering this burden alone try to incorporate the Take Control principle of finding a group of other people just like you who you can talk to about the condition. This will help you be more at ease with your condition as you are supported. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​

😫HAVE YOU EVER CUT OUT GLUTEN FOR YOUR IBS? ⠀ 😫HAVE YOU EVER CUT OUT GLUTEN FOR YOUR IBS? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😞Gluten is NOT the baddy! One of the first things many people do to help their IBS is to cut gluten out of their diet - but this isn’t necessary and can make your life all the more harder. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤔So why do people find that gluten alleviates their symptoms? Fructans, which are FODMAPs are often found in food that contain gluten and these can cause symptoms. Good gut health is NOT about exclusion it is about inclusion. Implement the Take Control Method and aim for as varied and as unrestrictive diet as possible 🙏🏻. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU ADD? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
😵‍💫 I will say it time and time again, IBS is NOT JUST a dodgy tummy. It is poor mental health, it is poor body image, it is an awful relationship with food 😔 . Mental health can play such a huge role in IBS. It can feel like a viscous circle of anxiety. We have anxiety about eating food/getting symptoms and then this anxiety itself leads to symptoms…​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
🤩 But what if we could take control of this anxiety? Putting your mental health as a priority, in your IBS management, like in the Take Control Method, can make all the difference. Why not try using a food and mood diary to see if your mood directly impacts your symptoms?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How do you self-soothe? 🥰​​​​​​​​

😢 Having IBS can really take a toll on your mental health. In turn your IBS can cause anxiety and your anxiety can then cause IBS symptoms leading to a viscous cycle. Your fears are REAL and they are VALID and they can be really debilitating! IBS can impact so many aspects of your life big and small! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤔 But what if you no longer had to deal with any of these fears and could get your symptoms under control! Instead of continuing with these behaviours adopt the take control method of social support and open up about your IBS to someone!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

​​​​​​​​
😞 IBS is a very complex disorder to navigate by yourself. It’s more than just altering your diet, a lot of factors are at play with your IBS. Trying to work out what triggers your IBS is an absolute mind field.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Adopting the Take Control Method, where the 4 pillars of IBS relief are all addressed (diet, movement, mental health and sleep), has helped so many of my clients to achieve that ultimate symptom relief because it considers EVERYTHING, not just what you out in your mouth.​​​​​​​​

What is your positive? 😊 😥It can be really What is your positive? 😊 

😥It can be really easy to focus on the negatives of IBS as it is so debilitating. You plan your life around your IBS and you understandably feel resentful for that. 

💪🏼But living with IBS actually makes us a stronger and more empathetic person 💪🏼. I want to challenge you today to focus on a positive of IBS. Having a positive mindset is something we encourage in the Take Control Programme to support your mental health ❤️
