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 fettuccine
Fettuccine is flat ribbon wheat pasta, usually made from semolina and often enriched with egg, so it carries gluten and is high in fructans. If wheat or FODMAPs are your triggers it can bother you, and because it is so often served in a creamy alfredo the dairy tends to get the blame while the pasta itself is a big part of the load.
Watch for
- Contains gluten from the wheat semolina, so it is off the table for coeliac disease and can trigger non-coeliac gluten sensitivity
- High in fructans, the wheat FODMAP behind bloating, gas and cramping a few hours after a pasta dinner
- Egg fettuccine adds egg to the mix, worth noting if egg is one of your own triggers
- A poor choice for SIBO, since the fermentable wheat carbs feed bacterial overgrowth
