- 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 carrot root
The carrot root is about as clean as a vegetable gets in this database. It grades low FODMAP across every subgroup, low histamine with no liberator effect, low salicylate, low oxalate, low lectin, no nickel, no free glutamate, no nightshade, and it suits low-fermentation and SIBO plans. That makes it one of the safest things to keep on the plate during an elimination trial. The one genuine caveat is not a food chemical at all: raw carrot makes some birch pollen allergy sufferers itch.
Watch for
- Raw carrot is a classic oral allergy syndrome food for people with birch pollen allergy.Itchy mouth, tingling lips or a scratchy throat within minutes of a raw carrot stick is the pattern, and it typically disappears when the carrot is cooked because heat breaks down the protein involved
- Only a mild anti-inflammatory rating rather than a strong one, so treat carrot as a safe base vegetable rather than an anti-inflammatory feature
- Format changes the picture.Carrot juice concentrates the sugars and drops the fibre, so it rates worse for FODMAPs and for low-fermentation diets than the root you chew
