In reply to Brandon. Hi there. In general if a serving size is 1g or less of Sugars, then the lactose is low enough to be considered low FODMAP. Also in general whey protein isolate is low FODMAP while concentrate is not. Cocoa is a whole other thing. Monash has made a mess of that. You can read more HERE. Any flavorings in powders such as these are probably in low enough amount to not make a difference. Artificial flavors are never a FODMAP issue. You might check with manufacturer about natural favorings to rule out inulin. We have several articles on the site that address exercise and athletes such as THIS one, THIS one and THIS one. Hope this all helps.

Hi I am wondering if MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate in chocolate smooth or salted caramel are low fodmap. The company states the lactose content for these products is 1% which would equate to 0.3g in a 30 gram serving I usually have. Both have artificial and natural flavoring which is ambiguous as to what’s used in the salted caramel, though I don’t think it would be any of the above mentioned fruits nor garlic/onion. The chocolate smooth has cocoa powder which is low fodmap at 8g. I just bought a 5lb bag of the salted caramel right before my gastro told me to try low fodmap. I follow a strict fitness plan and have high protein requirements, and it would be very expensive to buy all new low fodmap protein powders. I also have a couple different tubs of Pescience Select protein in chocolate truffle, snickerdoodle and cake pop. The website for Pescience states all Select proteins have <1g of lactose. However they each have 1-3g of carbs so it's unclear if that claim is true but maybe the carbs are coming from flavoring ingredients. Do you have any idea whether any of these protein powders I mentioned would be considered low fodmap? I'm on 5th day of elimination and would greatly appreciate the insight.

In reply to Dam. Hi there, the whey protein concentrate as the first ingredient makes this a poor choice; it will be higher in lactose than others. How do you do with lactose? You would also need to call manufacturer and ask about natural favors.

I like your article and the presentation of information. This article is a godsend for anyone looking to understand the basics of nutrition with protein and protein shakes. You managed to put a lot of valuable information into the article and present it in ordinary language so that everyone could understand it. Before reading this article, I did not understand all that is necessary to maintain such a diet with added protein in the diet. And I agree, if there is no opportunity to have lunch or a snack with something useful, then this is the best way out of the situation.

Very informative and good reference article. I am doing the diet for my severely autistic and development delayed son. As he can’t communicate very well we have to read his symptoms through his behaviour making it very hard to fine tune the diet. Breakfast is not a preferred meal for him so we’re finding that making shakes some mornings are the thing because if anything has chocolate in it he will drink it . This article has provided me a lot to go on and will aid in changing up and fine-tuning his morning shakes.
