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 pomegranate
Pomegranate arils are one of the more anti-inflammatory fruits you can eat, rich in polyphenols, yet they are high FODMAP because of excess fructose. That is the catch: the same jewel-like seeds that are so good for you can bloat or loosen a sensitive gut once you get past a small handful. They also carry a moderate salicylate load, so a big bowl is not a free pass for everyone.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, which is the main reason pomegranate reads as high FODMAP and can trigger bloating, gas or diarrhea in larger portions
- Moderate salicylate content, worth noting if you already react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Strongly anti-inflammatory and low in histamine, so the problem is almost always the fructose load rather than the fruit itself
