Moderate FODMAP Dairy

Is Ricotta Moderate FODMAP?

Only in small portions. Ricotta is moderate FODMAP (lactose).

Ricotta is a fresh whey cheese with more lactose than hard cheeses. Monash rates it low FODMAP at about 2 tablespoons (40g); larger dollops move it up, so lasagne-sized portions are the ones to watch.
