Disaccharides

There is only one FODMAP in the disaccharides group: lactose. Because vegans don’t consume animal-based foods, including dairy products, this category of FODMAPs is eliminated by default for vegans. However, many dairy alternatives, including soymilk and various types of nondairy milks, vegan cheeses, vegan yogurts, vegan ice creams, and a large number of other products designed to replace dairy foods may contain other high-FODMAP ingredients. Read labels carefully. Note that products made with soy protein isolate or extract (including certain brands of soymilks, soy cheeses, soy yogurts, soy creamers, and so forth), rather than whole soybeans, are low in FODMAPs and can be valuable additions to a low-FODMAP vegan diet.
