Look at your supplements and make sure they do not contain these https://www.siboinfo.com/uploads/5/4/8/4/5484269/sibo_supplement_checklist.pdf
It is amazing how a tiny amount of a food chemical can upset your digestion. You should also investigate the specific vitamins and minerals you supplement with and choose ones that are digested completely. I had bad gas from a magnesium product which was suppose to be magnesium citrate and turned out to be magnesium oxide [ found this out after a lawsuit against the company).
I am using the Monash University FODMAP app too and find it has really helped me; and you are right you have to be careful you do not stack too many FODMAP safe portions into one meal. That is the trick. Best of luck!
I think you are right about the 'threshold' idea and amounts of certain foods. I know a lady who loves avocados, and she used to eat up to 3 at a time! Now she knows to keep it to one at a time, or even half of a large one. That way she can still enjoy one of her favorite foods, just not the same way she used to.
