Is Rice cake (yoghurt-coated) Low FODMAP?
Rice cake (yoghurt-coated) is high FODMAP. It's best avoided during the elimination phase.
Serving thresholds
| Serving | FODMAP level | Data quality |
|---|---|---|
| 2 cakes (24 g) | High | Class rule |
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 (yoghurt-coated)?
During reintroduction, test the group above one at a time — tolerating rice cake (yoghurt-coated) depends on your personal threshold for Lactose, not on the food itself.
Good to know
Yoghurt-coated rice cakes keep the low-FODMAP rice base but the thick white coating is sweetened milk solids — high in lactose at standard 2-cake serves. Strawberry/forest-fruit variants additionally carry fructose from fruit purée.
Where these numbers come from
- Derivation note: Yoghurt-coating dominates a 24 g serve by mass; sweetened milk-solids coatings exceed the 1 g/serve lactose cutoff per Varney 2017.
- 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.
