Is Cream cheese Moderate FODMAP?
Only in small portions. Cream cheese is moderate FODMAP (lactose).
Cream cheese is moderate FODMAP - tolerated by some at small portions and trigger-prone for others. The trigger is lactose, the milk sugar that requires the lactase enzyme to digest. Hard-cheese portions or smaller quantities of soft varieties are usually fine.
