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 mangosteen
Mangosteen is two different products sharing one name, and separating them answers most of what people search for. The fruit is the soft white segmented flesh inside a thick purple rind: it grades A for nickel, gluten, lactose, dairy protein, free glutamates, sulfites, nitrites, nightshades and caffeine, with mild B grades for histamine, salicylates and oxalates, and unrated FODMAP columns. That is an easy going row. The supplement is something else. The xanthones that all the mangosteen marketing rests on, alpha mangostin and its relatives, are concentrated in the bitter purple pericarp, the part nobody eats. Bottled mangosteen juice is made by pureeing the whole fruit including that rind, which is why it tastes tannic and why it carries the antioxidant claims. Those products were sold hard through multi level marketing with sweeping health claims, and regulators have issued warning letters over disease claims made for them. There is also a published case report of severe lactic acidosis in a man who drank mangosteen juice daily for about a year. One case report is not a general risk, but it is a reason to treat a concentrated daily rind extract as a supplement decision rather than a fruit decision.
Watch for
Mangosteen juice is not mangosteen. The bottled products are whole fruit purees built around the rind, which is where the xanthones sit and which you would never eat off the fruit. A clean grade on the flesh tells you nothing about a daily rind extract / There is a published case report of severe lactic acidosis in a man taking mangosteen juice daily for roughly twelve months. Isolated case reports do not establish a general hazard, but they are exactly the reason to mention a daily mangosteen supplement to your doctor, especially alongside other medication / Histamine grades B, a mild mark rather than a flag, and mangosteen is highly perishable. Flesh that has gone translucent, glassy or slightly fermented is past it, and overripe fruit is where amines accumulate regardless of the baseline grade / FODMAP columns are unrated, so untested rather than low. Mangosteen is sweet and soft and a bowl of it is easy to eat quickly, so if you have IBS, treat the portion as a variable to log
