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 pork
Fresh pork is a clean protein on most triggers: low salicylate, low oxalate, gluten and lactose free, with only a moderate histamine grade (C). The real story is fresh versus processed. Cured, aged and smoked pork like bacon, ham, salami and prosciutto is where histamine climbs sharply, and pork also grades pro-inflammatory (E) as a fatty red meat. It is not vegetarian or vegan.
Watch for
Cured and aged pork (bacon, ham, salami, prosciutto) is high in histamine; freshly cooked pork eaten promptly is far lower / Graded pro-inflammatory (E), typical of fatty red and processed meat, so it is not an anti-inflammatory diet staple / Processed pork usually adds nitrites and salt, separate triggers from the meat itself
