What to know about condensed milk
Sweetened condensed milk is cow milk boiled down and loaded with sugar, so it concentrates every dairy trigger at once. It is very high in lactose, carries full dairy protein and adds a huge sugar hit, which is why the fudge, tres leches and coffee drinks it sweetens can hit a lactose-intolerant gut harder than a plain glass of milk.
Watch for
- Very high in lactose, because evaporating the water concentrates the milk sugar: a small drizzle can carry more lactose than you expect
- Contains casein and whey, so it is unsafe for a dairy protein allergy
- Heavily sweetened, adding a large sugar load on top of the dairy that can worsen gut symptoms
