Moderate FODMAP Dairy

Is Cream Moderate FODMAP?

In small portions, yes. Cream is low FODMAP at about 2 tablespoons (40g) and moderate from about a quarter cup (63g), per Monash lab data.

Cream is mostly fat, so it carries far less lactose per serve than milk. Monash rates regular cream low FODMAP at about 2 tablespoons (40g), moderate from about a quarter cup (63g) and high at a full cup. Lactose-free cream is the swap for sauces that need more.
