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

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for garlic powder
Garlic powder is one of the highest-FODMAP ingredients in an ordinary kitchen. Drying and grinding concentrate the fructans, so a small shake carries the fructan load of several fresh cloves. That is why garlic powder is a leading hidden trigger for IBS and SIBO, and why it turns up in spice blends, stock, dressings, crisps and "natural flavour" where you least expect it.
Watch for
Extremely high in fructans (grade E), the FODMAP behind gas, bloating and cramping in sensitive guts / Concentrated: dehydrating garlic packs far more fructan per teaspoon than the same weight of fresh clove / Rated poorly for SIBO, and it hides in seasoning mixes, sauces, stock and processed snacks / Fructans do not dissolve in oil, so garlic-infused oil (the oil, not the solids) carries the flavour without the FODMAP
