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

What to know about snow peas
Snow peas, also called mangetout, are the flat edible-pod pea, and unlike shelled green peas their FODMAP story is a polyol one. Their main trigger is mannitol, a sugar alcohol that grades high once you eat more than a few pods, alongside a moderate fructan load. If you searched whether snow peas are low FODMAP, the honest answer is portion-dependent: around five pods is low FODMAP, but a generous stir-fry serving crosses into moderate mannitol and can bloat a polyol-sensitive gut. This makes them behave differently from green peas, whose issue is GOS rather than polyols, so the amount you tolerate of one does not predict the other.
Watch for
- High in mannitol, a polyol (sugar alcohol) that draws water into the gut and causes bloating and loose stools above a small serving
- Portion is everything: roughly five pods is low FODMAP, while a full stir-fry handful becomes moderate in mannitol plus some GOS
- A different trigger from shelled green peas, so tolerating one pea type does not mean you will tolerate the other
- Moderate salicylates, a minor consideration if you are salicylate sensitive
