Lactose-free yogurt
Other names Yaourt sans lactose
Lactose-free yogurt: low in histamine and tyramine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
Lactose-free yogurt is low because adding lactase changes the sugar and nothing else - the culture and its amines are the same. Histamine in dairy is a storage measurement, not a recipe one. Pasteurisation, starter culture, salt, pH and ripening time decide more than the name on the label.

Lactose-free yogurt is the same short culture with the sugar split. On this axis dairy splits in two, and the dividing line is ripening: aged cheese is one of the four foods a MAOI diet excludes outright, while fresh dairy is among the safest things on the shelf. The same milk becomes either one.
