Is Milk Low FODMAP?

Avoid

Cow's milk, regardless of fat content, is high FODMAP, unless the packaging states that it is lactose free or you see "lactase enzyme" listed as another ingredient.

Milk and the Low FODMAP Diet

Cow's milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of cows. It is a staple in many diets around the world, providing essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamins D, B2, and B12. However, cow's milk naturally contains lactose, a type of sugar that some individuals have difficulty digesting, making it a high-FODMAP food. For those on a low-FODMAP diet, lactose-free versions of cow's milk are recommended.
