Yogurt

High FODMAP

Serving sizes

Yogurt changes rating with portion size. These are the amounts tested in the literature behind our ratings.

  • About 20g Low
  • Larger portions Moderate
  • Much larger portions High

Yogurt is High FODMAP at 170g, moderate at 60g and low only at 20g, from its Lactose.

  • At 20g, yogurt is Low FODMAP.
  • At 60g it moves to moderate, and at 170g it is high, as Lactose builds with portion size.

A lactose-free yogurt lets you enjoy a full bowl, while regular yogurt works best as a small spoonful.
