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
about 4.7 g per 100 ml — the reference dose. Most people who test lactose intolerant still handle roughly 12 g of lactose at once (a large glass) if it comes with a meal: symptoms follow the dose, not the diagnosis. Fermenting or ageing milk is what lowers its lactose.
