What to know about tzatziki
Tzatziki is a Greek yogurt dip built on cucumber, garlic and often lemon, and the garlic is what makes it a hidden FODMAP trap. It grades high in fructans, the FODMAP concentrated in raw garlic, which is a leading cause of bloating, gas and cramping on a low FODMAP plan, even in the small amount stirred through a dip. The yogurt base adds high dairy protein and moderate lactose, while histamine stays mild. So unlike a fat based ranch or caesar, the trigger in tzatziki is usually the garlic, not the dressing.
Watch for
- High in fructans from the raw garlic, a common IBS and low FODMAP trigger for bloating and gas even in dip sized amounts
- High overall FODMAP load once the garlic and yogurt combine
- High in dairy protein and moderate in lactose from the Greek yogurt base
- Mild histamine, so it is gentler than a fermented or aged dip if amines are your issue
