Sensitivity notes
Why dairy proteins food checker matters
Dairy proteins (casein and whey) can cause reactions in people with milk protein allergy or intolerance. This is different from lactose intolerance and can cause both digestive and systemic symptoms.
- Dairy protein allergy requires complete dairy avoidance
- Casein and whey are the main proteins to avoid
- 'Non-dairy' products may still contain casein
- Ghee may be tolerated as proteins are removed
- This is different from lactose intolerance - treatment differs

What to know about artichoke heart
The artichoke heart is the tender centre of the globe artichoke, and it is the most fructan-dense part of one of the highest-fructan vegetables there is. Its fibre is largely inulin, a fructan that ferments fast, so canned, jarred and marinated hearts rate very high FODMAP and commonly cause bloating and gas even in the small amounts scattered over a pizza or salad. The upside is that, unlike the whole artichoke, the heart is clean on salicylates and oxalate, so the trigger here is purely the FODMAP load.
Watch for
- Very high in fructans (inulin), even higher than the whole artichoke, so the hearts are a strong FODMAP trigger for bloating, gas and cramping
- Marinating, canning or draining does not remove the fructans, which are water-soluble and stay in the heart itself
- Rated poorly for SIBO, since the inulin ferments readily in the gut
- Clean on salicylates, oxalate and histamine, so a reaction here is a FODMAP one rather than a chemical sensitivity
