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 date
Dates are a sticky, sweet, concentrated-sugar bomb, and the trigger data shows why they hit harder than their small size suggests. They are high FODMAP from excess fructose, high in salicylates, and very high in oxalates: a single date carries around 24 mg, putting dates among the highest-oxalate fruits and a real concern for calcium-oxalate kidney stones. Unlike prunes and dried apricots the polyol level is only moderate, so with dates the story is fructose, salicylate and oxalate, not sorbitol.
Watch for
- Very high in oxalates, among the highest of any fruit, so dates are worth limiting if you are prone to calcium-oxalate kidney stones
- High FODMAP from excess fructose, the concentrated sugar behind the bloating and gas people get from just a couple of dates
- High in salicylates, a separate trigger if you react to aspirin-type or salicylate-rich foods
- Moderate for nickel, worth noting if you have systemic nickel allergy and are stacking other nickel-rich foods
