Why vegetarian diet checker matters
A vegetarian diet excludes meat and fish but may include dairy products and eggs. It focuses on plant foods with optional animal-derived products like milk, cheese, and eggs.
- Eggs and dairy can help meet protein needs
- Include a variety of plant proteins for balanced nutrition
- Iron-rich foods pair well with vitamin C

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for almond milk
Almond milk is one of the easiest dairy-free milks on the trigger front: low in histamine, no lactose or dairy protein, and low FODMAP in a normal glass because it is mostly water. It is not the same as eating almonds. The whole nut is high in oxalate, but commercial almond milk is only about 2 to 5% almonds, so its oxalate load is far lower and dilute. The main thing to check is what is added to the carton, not the almond itself.
Watch for
Low FODMAP at a normal 250 ml (1 cup) serve because it is mostly water; the almond FODMAPs are dilute, though multiple cups add up / Far lower in oxalate than whole almonds since it is only a few percent almond, though homemade or high-almond blends carry more / Commercial cartons often add gums, oils, sugar or flavours, and for some people it is the additives, not the almond, that cause trouble
