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.
- LactoseModerate
fermented and then strained — straining pours off the whey, and the lactose goes with it, landing around 2-3 g per 100 g. That is why strained yoghurts sit easier than plain yoghurt, and far easier than milk: the more you ferment and drain, the less lactose is left.
