High FODMAP
Lactose
Avoid during the elimination phase of the diet.
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar naturally occurring in dairy products that requires specific enzymes for digestion. Deficiency in lactase enzymes guarantees incomplete breakdown and rapid colonic fermentation. This osmotic activity triggers bloating, gas, and discomfort consistently during consumption. Pure lactose remains highly incompatible with IBS management protocols.

sticky_note_2 Clinical Notes
Replace lactose with verified low-FODMAP glucose or sucrose blends safely during formulation. Always verify commercial sourcing to ensure complete absence of hidden dairy derivatives in products. Store it airtight to prevent moisture absorption and preserve powder consistency during usage. Substituting carefully ensures sweetness without triggering gastrointestinal distress or bloating symptoms.
