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 trout

Trout sits in a useful gap. It is a freshwater fish with real omega-3s, so it eats like salmon, but it grades far closer to white fish on the trigger chart: A for salicylates, oxalate, nickel, free glutamate, sulfites, gluten, lactose and nightshades, plus a clean A on both FODMAPs and fermentation load. The one place it costs you a notch is amines. Trout grades a borderline B for histamine, B for histamine liberation and B for tyramine, one step above the leanest white fish. That is not a warning so much as a freshness instruction: fresh trout is a low-trigger dinner, and trout that has been sitting is the version people react to.

Watch for

  • Borderline B on histamine, histamine liberation and tyramine, so it belongs in the fresh-and-fast category rather than the leftovers category.Cook it the day you buy it and do not keep cooked portions for days
  • Smoked and cured trout is a completely different proposition.Smoking and curing concentrate amines, which is why smoked fish is one of the first things dropped on a histamine protocol even when the fresh version is fine
  • Trout roe and trout caviar are salted, aged and preserved, so treat them as their own high-amine food rather than as trout
  • Almondine and meuniere preparations bring butter, flour and lemon, which is usually where a reaction to a trout dinner actually comes from
  • Nothing on the plant-chemical side to manage: salicylate, oxalate and nickel all grade A, which makes trout unusually easy to place in a multi-restriction diet
