Serving size, prep, and portion notes for cream

Cream is where the dairy triggers that butter mostly sheds come straight back. Because it is liquid dairy rather than pure fat, cream carries a real load of lactose along with the milk proteins casein and whey. If milk gives you bloating, cramps or congestion, cream usually does the same, and a splash in coffee or a rich sauce is an easy source to overlook.

Watch for

High in lactose (grade E), a common cause of bloating, cramping and loose stools if you lack lactase / Contains casein and whey, the milk proteins behind dairy sensitivity and congestion / Easy to miss in coffee, sauces, soups and desserts, so small amounts stack up across a day
