Any downsides to quark? "I really see no downsides at all," says Whiteson. "I guess if you're lactose intolerant or for someone that finds that dairy bothers them, they should stay away from quark. Also, vegans of course, because they can't eat dairy."
That said, according to Dr. Petre, quark is considered a low lactose and low FODMAP (aka Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols), which means it's easy to digest and safe to eat for anyone who suffers from irritable or sensitive bowels. And since it has less lactose than yogurt or milk, some lactose intolerants may be able to give it a try.
