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

Ingredient notes

What to know about orange juice

Orange juice is not high in histamine itself, but it is a histamine liberator, which is the citrus-and-hives connection people notice. It is also high in salicylates and, because juicing strips out the fruit fiber, high in fructose and FODMAPs. A single morning glass concentrates the sugar of several oranges into one fast hit.

Watch for

  • A histamine liberator, the reason citrus can cause hives or itching even though it is low in histamine itself
  • High in salicylates, a trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
  • High in fructose and FODMAPs, a common cause of bloating or loose stools, and harder on the gut than a whole orange because juicing removes the fiber
  • A concentrated sugar source that grades pro-inflammatory
