Soy Yogurt with IBS

Status: Allowed with restrictions

Soy Yogurt is classified as conditionally suitable for IBS based on current dietary assessments. Dairy products contain calcium, protein and – depending on the product – varying amounts of lactose and fat, which can be relevant for certain conditions. With IBS, individuals react very differently to specific foods; the FODMAP approach, which focuses on fermentable carbohydrates, is widely used. The reasoning given is: individual trigger, variabler FODMAP content. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
