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

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for zucchini
Zucchini (courgette) is a mild summer squash that stays clean on histamine, oxalates, gluten, nickel and sulfites. Its flags are moderate: a FODMAP grade of C that means it is low FODMAP only in smaller servings, moderate salicylates (C), and a high lectin grade (E) that lives mostly in the skin and seeds. In a modest portion it is one of the easier vegetables for a sensitive gut.
Watch for
FODMAP graded C: low FODMAP in a small serving (Monash caps it around 65 g), higher if you eat a big plate / Graded high in lectins (E), mostly in the peel and seeds, so peeling helps lectin-sensitive eaters / Moderate salicylates (graded C), a minor flag on a strict salicylate elimination diet
