Short answer: Yes — strawberries are low FODMAP at a generous serving of 10 medium strawberries (150 g), per Monash University. They're one of the most gut-friendly fruits available.
Strawberry FODMAP Chart
| Serving | FODMAP Status |

Why Strawberries Are Safe
Unlike apples, pears, or watermelon, strawberries contain very low levels of excess fructose and no polyols. That makes them a top-tier elimination-phase fruit (Monash data).
Fresh vs. Frozen vs. Dried
- Fresh: 10 medium — safe.
- Frozen: Same serving rules apply.
- Dried strawberries: High FODMAP even in small amounts due to concentrated fructose.
- Strawberry jam: Check label — most contain high-fructose corn syrup or honey.
Stacking Warning
Avoid pairing strawberries with other fructose fruits (mango, cherries) in the same meal. See our FODMAP Stacking Guide for details.
