FODMAP & NONG: Why These Two Diets Overlap Perfectly
Both onion and garlic are high-FODMAP foods. If you're on a low-FODMAP diet, NONG products are your best friend.

Why NONG products are perfect for FODMAP Every product in the NoNgs directory is verified to contain no onion or garlic in any form.
