Fresh whole milk
Fresh whole milk: high in FODMAPs and lactose. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsHigh
Fresh whole milk is unconcentrated and unfermented, which means nothing has reduced its lactose - no drying, no draining, no culture. It sits at the top of the dairy range by default rather than by any property of its own.
- LactoseFODMAPsHigh
Fresh pasteurised milk holds the same lactose as UHT - heat does not break the sugar, it only kills the bacteria. What changes with pasteurisation is that no live culture is left to help digest it, which is the whole difference between a glass of milk and a yoghurt of the same volume.
