If you're on a low FODMAP diet, you might not be able to enjoy regular ice cream due to the high lactose content. However, there are plenty of tasty alternatives, including lactose-free ice creams and coconut milk ice creams.
Jeni's makes vegan coconut frozen dessert varieties that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and low FODMAP. Jeni's coconut desserts are also thick and creamy due to the high fat content of coconuts. Although Monash University has not tested coconut milk ice creams, half a cup of coconut milk is low FODMAP. Therefore, half a cup of coconut ice cream is low FODMAP unless the coconut ice cream contains high FODMAP ingredients such as chicory.
In this video, we taste and review two of Jeni's low FODMAP coconut frozen desserts:
