Evaporated milk
Evaporated milk: high in FODMAPs and lactose. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsHigh
Evaporated milk has had about half its water boiled off, so the lactose per spoonful is roughly double that of milk. It is used in coffee and in cooking by the tablespoon rather than the glass, which is the only thing keeping the dose manageable.
- LactoseFODMAPsHigh
Evaporated milk has had most of its water boiled off, so the lactose concentrates to roughly double that of fresh milk. It is used by the tablespoon in coffee and by the tin in baking, and only one of those is a small dose.
