For those following a low FODMAP diet to manage IBS or digestive discomfort, dairy can be a tricky category. But the good news? Mozzarella cheese is considered low FODMAP — in the right serving size.
Why Mozzarella Can Be Safe:
Low in lactose: Fresh mozzarella (like bocconcini or mozzarella balls) contains only trace amounts of lactose, especially in small portions.
Monash University Approved: A serving size of 40g (about 1.4 oz) is considered low FODMAP.
Tips for Enjoying Mozzarella on a Low FODMAP Diet:
Stick to serving limits to avoid triggering symptoms.
Choose fresh mozzarella over processed or shredded types (which may contain additives or lactose).
Pair with low FODMAP foods like tomatoes, basil, and gluten-free bread.
Try This:
Make a Caprese salad with sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, salt, and a dash of balsamic — all within low FODMAP limits!
Mozzarella lovers rejoice: you don’t have to give it up. Just remember, portion control is key on a low FODMAP journey.
