Is matcha latte low FODMAP?
FODMAP score
60
Moderate
In small portions — Matcha Latte is moderate in FODMAPs. Portion size decides whether it triggers symptoms.
FODMAPs present
Low-FODMAP serving
small, made with lactose-free or a suitable plant milk
Becomes high FODMAP at
large with cow's milk (over 250 ml)
The matcha powder is not the problem, the milk volume is: a cafe cup carries roughly 250 ml of cow's milk against a low serve of about 30 ml, so the lactose load is well over threshold. Ordered with lactose-free or almond milk the same drink is low, and some pre-sweetened cafe matcha blends also list honey or milk solids.

Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores matcha latte at a serving of small, made with lactose-free or a suitable plant milk; at large with cow's milk (over 250 ml) it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
