- 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 red delicious apple
Red Delicious is not as sugary as a Honeycrisp, yet it still lands high FODMAP because it pairs excess fructose with sorbitol, the polyol common to all apples. That fructose-and-sorbitol combination is what makes any apple a frequent IBS and SIBO trigger, and the thick-skinned Red Delicious is no exception even though it tastes milder and less crisp than the trendier varieties.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, absorbed poorly once it outpaces the fruit glucose and left to ferment in the gut
- High in sorbitol, a laxative sugar alcohol that stacks on the fructose for bloating and loose stools
- A poor choice during a SIBO flare, since the fermentable sugars feed the overgrowth
- Salicylate content is only moderate, so the FODMAP load, not salicylates, is the story here
