What to know about coconut milk

Canned coconut milk is low in histamine and clean on the usual sensitivity triggers, which makes it a popular dairy-free swap. Its two real catches are FODMAP by volume, since sorbitol concentrates as the milk thickens, and saturated fat: it is one of the richest plant sources, which is why it scores poorly for anti-inflammatory and Mediterranean-style eating. A splash in a curry is low FODMAP. Half a can is not.

Watch for

  • Low FODMAP only in small serves (about 1/4 cup canned); 1/2 cup or more brings moderate to high sorbitol
  • Very high in saturated fat, the reason it rates poorly on anti-inflammatory and Mediterranean scores despite being trigger-clean
  • Carton (UHT) versions are lighter and often low FODMAP up to about 1/2 cup, but check for added gums or sweeteners
