Is evaporated milk low FODMAP?

Evaporated milk is high FODMAP and best avoided during the elimination phase.

Milk with much of the water removed, so its lactose is concentrated and a normal pour reads high; only about 2 teaspoons is low. Evaporated lactose-free or coconut milk is the swap for recipes that lean on it.
