Is Rice cake (cheese-flavoured) Low FODMAP?

Serving thresholds

Thresholds are per sitting. FODMAP load stacks across a meal — two “low” servings of different foods can still add up.

Which FODMAPs are in rice cake (cheese-flavoured)?

During reintroduction, test the groups above one at a time — tolerating rice cake (cheese-flavoured) depends on your personal threshold for Lactose, Fructans, not on the food itself.

Good to know

Cheese-flavoured rice cakes use whey/milk powder for the savoury coating — that pushes lactose above cutoff. Many brands also include onion powder or yeast extract with garlic, adding fructans on top.

Where these numbers come from

• Derivation note: Cheese seasoning blends are dominated by whey/milk powder (lactose above 1 g/serve) and routinely add onion powder for depth; both above Varney 2017 cutoffs at typical 2-cake serves.
• Peer-reviewed paper: Varney J et al. (2017) FODMAPs: food composition, defining cutoff values and international application. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 32(S1):53–61.

Phase derives serving thresholds from published research and food-composition data so every number is auditable.
