Dairy
Dairy products are the main source of FODMAP lactose.
However, not all dairy foods contain lactose. Some cheese loses its lactose content during the making process.
But it is important to remember that some cheeses contain added flavorings, such as garlic and onions which make them high in FODMAP.
Dairy foods that have high FODMAP include:
- buttermilk
- milk
- quark (over 6.35 ounces)
- ricotta (over 7.05 ounces)
- paneer (over 7.76 ounces)
- custard
- kefir
- yogurt
Dairy foods with low FODMAP include:
- cheddar cheese
- Swiss cheese
- Parmesan cheese
- feta cheese
- cream
- ghee
- lactose-free milk
Conclusion
Foods with high FODMAPs can cause certain conditions such as bloating, abdominal pain, and bowel irregularities. Although some people are more FODMAP-sensitive than others. You doctor can help discover your FODMAP sensitivity level and refer you to a nutritionist who prepares a safe diet for you.
