Sensitivity notes
Why fructans food checker matters
Fructans are chains of fructose molecules found in wheat, onions, garlic, and many other foods. They're a type of FODMAP that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals because they're not well absorbed in the small intestine.
- Garlic-infused oil is low-FODMAP since fructans don't dissolve in oil
- Green parts of leeks and scallions are lower in fructans
- Sourdough bread may be better tolerated than regular wheat bread

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for matcha latte
A matcha latte is caffeine plus dairy, which is why it can trigger two very different sensitivities. Because you drink the whole powdered leaf, matcha delivers a real caffeine dose, around 55 to 65 mg per serving, less than a cup of drip coffee but far from decaf, and its L-theanine gives a calmer lift rather than a jittery spike. The milk then makes a standard cafe matcha latte high in lactose and high in dairy protein, so the milk, not the matcha, is what makes it high FODMAP.
Watch for
High in caffeine because you consume the whole leaf, roughly 55 to 65 mg per serving, so it is not a good pick if caffeine keeps you up or raises your heart rate / High in lactose from the milk, a frequent cause of bloating for the lactose intolerant / High in dairy protein, a problem if you react to casein or whey / High FODMAP from the milk rather than the matcha, so a dairy-free milk lowers the load considerably
