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 celery
Celery is about as low-calorie and clean as vegetables get: no histamine, no salicylates, no gluten and no dairy. Its one genuine trigger is mannitol, a sugar alcohol that makes it high FODMAP, which is exactly why "is celery low FODMAP" gets asked so often. If celery bloats you, the polyol is the culprit, not some hidden reactivity.
Watch for
- High in mannitol, a polyol FODMAP, so larger amounts can cause bloating and wind in a sensitive gut
- Only a small serving stays low FODMAP; the mannitol adds up quickly as the portion grows
- Mildly higher in nickel and oxalates than the cleanest vegetables, a minor note for people managing those specifically
- Otherwise a very safe, non-reactive vegetable with no histamine or salicylate concern
