Moderate FODMAP Dairy

Is Single cream Moderate FODMAP?

In small portions, yes. Single cream is low in lactose at a splash. It has less fat and a little more lactose than double cream, so keep to small pours.

Single cream is lower in fat than double cream, so it carries slightly more lactose per spoonful, but a splash in coffee or over fruit is a small dose. Monash rates regular cream low FODMAP at about 2 tablespoons (40g) and moderate from about a quarter cup. Lactose-free cream is the swap for larger amounts.
