Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
Two triggers in one glass: egg white is a classic histamine liberator, and the alcohol blocks DAO so you clear the result more slowly.
- SucroseHigh
- FODMAPsHigh
eggnog is high in FODMAP from lactose (milk and cream) plus added sugar; a lactose-free version in a small serving is lower FODMAP.
- LactoseHigh
milk- and cream-based, so it carries roughly the lactose of the milk it was made from, plus any milk powder added on top.
- NickelHigh
- SalicylateModerate
- TyramineLow
a standard fresh eggnog has little to no tyramine, but aged versions or those made with aged spirits may contain some.
- GlutenPossible
this processed food may contain gluten from fillers, malt, wheat starch or shared production lines, even though it isn't a wheat product itself. Check for a gluten-free label if you are sensitive.
