Dulce de Leche

Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.

Dulce de leche is a thick caramelized sweetener made by slowly heating milk and sugar together. The heating process concentrates natural lactose significantly beyond standard dairy tolerance levels. Combined with caramelized sucrose, this mixture creates rapid fermentation triggers for sensitive guts. Traditional recipes remain highly incompatible with low-FODMAP protocols.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes

Create safe alternatives using lactose-free condensed milk reduced slowly over low heat safely. Stir continuously to prevent burning and ensure smooth consistency throughout the cooking process. Store finished sauce in glass jars refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent crystallization. Substituting dairy components entirely ensures rich flavor while preserving digestive comfort.
