Lowfat milk
Lowfat milk is high in FODMAPs and Lactose. It has low levels of Histamine and Tyramine. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsHigh
the FODMAP here is lactose, the milk sugar many adults digest poorly. Lactose-free dairy, or hard aged cheeses that are naturally very low in lactose, keep this low FODMAP.
- LactoseHigh
skimming removes fat, not lactose — skimmed milk holds about 4.8 g per 100 ml, marginally more than whole milk. Low-fat is not low-lactose.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Low
- TyramineLow
- SalicylateNone
- SucroseNone
- OligosaccharidesNone
- SorbitolNone
- FructoseNone
- NickelNone
- OxalatesNone
- GlutenNo
