Sensitivity notes
Why low fermentation food checker matters
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) diets focus on reducing fermentable foods that feed bacteria in the small intestine. Low-fermentation foods help manage symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort.
- Low-fermentation eating reduces food for overgrown bacteria
- Meal spacing (4-5 hours) allows the MMC to clear the gut
- Avoid grazing - structured meals are better
- Some find the elemental diet helpful under medical supervision
- Address underlying causes with your healthcare provider

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
