- 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 rosemary
Rosemary is a high-salicylate herb, so the woody sprigs tucked around a roast, stirred into focaccia dough or infused into oil can be a trigger for anyone sensitive to salicylates. Its piney, resinous punch means a little goes a long way in cooking, but that same intensity reflects a concentrated salicylate content, which is worth knowing if you are tracking a salicylate reaction.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, a common trigger if you also react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich Mediterranean herbs
- Its strong resinous flavour makes it easy to over-apply on roast meat, potatoes and breads, quietly raising the salicylate dose
- Often paired with other high-salicylate herbs like thyme and oregano, so a single roast can stack several salicylate sources at once
