Celery
Celery: low in salicylate, FODMAPs and sorbitol. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateLow
Celery measures 2.6 mg of salicylic acid per kilogram, a little above spinach. The serve measured was a stick - 19 g, 0.05 mg - which is the form celery usually takes. Celery salt and celery seed are a different question: they are the plant concentrated.

- FODMAPsLow
Celery is low at a normal serving and stops being low above one - the threshold is around about a third of a stalk. That is the shape of this whole axis: it publishes serving limits rather than verdicts, because the fructan or polyol load scales with how much you eat and there is no amount that is free.

- SorbitolFODMAPsLow
Celery carries a small amount of sorbitol, and mannitol besides. A stick or two is fine; it is the juiced and blended forms that concentrate it.
