What to know about cottage cheese
Cottage cheese has become the go-to high-protein snack, but it is one of the fresher dairy foods on lactose, graded high, and it still carries the milk proteins casein and whey. That is why a food marketed as healthy and gut-friendly can leave lactose-intolerant people bloated, gassy or cramping within an hour. The upside: unlike aged parmesan or cheddar it is barely fermented, so it stays low in histamine, which makes the reaction almost always about lactose and dairy protein rather than amines.
Watch for
- High in lactose, so the protein hit comes with the bloating, gas and loose stools of lactose intolerance if you do not tolerate milk sugar
- Contains casein and whey, the milk proteins that trigger a dairy sensitivity even in someone whose gut handles lactose fine
- Low in histamine, unlike aged cheese, so a reaction here points to lactose or dairy protein rather than to an amine
- Only borderline for SIBO, but a large tub still adds fermentable lactose that can feed excess gas
