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 champagne
Champagne is a sparkling wine, and like other wines it is fermented and aged on the lees, which makes it high in histamine and a common trigger for flushing, a blocked nose, headaches or hives. On top of that it carries moderate sulfites from winemaking and moderate tyramine, and the carbonation speeds how fast the alcohol reaches your bloodstream. If a glass of bubbly reliably brings on a headache or a red face, the histamine and sulfites, not just the alcohol, are usually why.
Watch for
- High in histamine from fermentation and ageing, so it is one of the more reliable drink triggers for flushing, congestion, headache and hives in histamine-sensitive people.
- Moderate sulfites, both added and formed during winemaking, which can bring on wheezing or a stuffy nose separately from the histamine.
- The bubbles matter: carbonation speeds alcohol absorption, so symptoms can come on faster than with a still wine.
- Moderate tyramine plus some fructose, so it stacks with aged cheese, cured meats or a heavy meal.
