Creamy Cheese Portions (French Style) and IBS: what to know
For creamy cheese portions and IBS, distinguish a small spread from several triangles eaten across a snack. Count the total cheese used, including any added after the first serving. If comparing meals, record crackers, bread and accompaniments alongside the cheese so its portion rating is not extended to the whole plate.
Gut-friendly ways to eat creamy cheese portions (french style)
Unwrap and weigh the portion before spreading it over toast or crackers. Divide that measured cheese across pieces rather than adding a new triangle to each one automatically. If choosing a different spread, compare plain lactose-free cream cheese through its own guide; the formulations have separate serving information.
