Why

Coffee itself contains no FODMAPs. The milk is usually the issue — a standard latte is a large dose of lactose, and an oat milk one is past the 125 ml oat threshold. Caffeine is separately a gut stimulant, which is a different mechanism from FODMAPs but a real consideration in IBS.

This entry is compiled from published Monash-aligned guidance rather than our own laboratory testing, and thresholds are revised as new data arrives. For the elimination phase the Monash app is the authority. See the full food list for how the categories fit together, orcheck another food.
