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 mushroom
Mushrooms are a rare food that lands high on several unrelated trigger scales at once. They are one of the richest natural sources of free glutamates, the umami compound linked to MSG-type reactions, and they are high in salicylates. They are also high in polyols (mannitol), a FODMAP that ferments in the gut, and moderate in histamine. That stack is why mushrooms can bring on headaches, bloating or flushing even though they look like a plain, healthy vegetable.
Watch for
- One of the highest natural sources of free glutamates, so they can trigger MSG-style headaches or flushing
- High in salicylates, a common trigger for people sensitive to aspirin or salicylate-rich foods
- High in polyols (mannitol), a FODMAP that causes bloating and gas in a sensitive gut
- Moderate in histamine, which can add to symptoms if you have histamine intolerance
