About SneakyKeto
Most people meet a therapeutic diet the same way: a specialist says a word — low oxalate, modified keto, low FODMAP — hands over a photocopied list, and the appointment ends. SneakyKeto is the page you go looking for that evening.
Every guide covers the same eight things: how the diet actually works, which conditions it's used for, what to eat and what to set aside, three days of real meals, how to start, the mistakes people usually make, honest FAQs, and — the part almost nobody writes about — what happens when you have to follow two of these diets at once.
How the guides are written
- Evidence is labelled, not implied. Where a diet has strong trial data (DASH, low FODMAP, gluten-free for coeliac disease) the guide says so. Where it doesn't (candida, the salicylate half of Feingold), the guide says that too, rather than dressing it up.
- Mechanism first. Food lists you can't reason about fall apart the moment you eat somewhere new, so each guide explains why a food sits where it does.
- Exit strategy included. Most of these diets are meant to be temporary. Guides that should end with a reintroduction phase say when and how.
How the food checker works
Each food carries a profile — net carbohydrate, fibre, fat, oxalate, FODMAP, histamine, salicylate, potassium, phosphorus, sodium, plus flags like gluten, additives, nightshade and fermentation. Each diet carries a rule that reads that profile and returns allowed, caution or avoid with a reason. That's why the verdicts stay consistent across all 18 diets instead of drifting between hand-written lists. It's also why they're approximate: real thresholds are portion dependent and personal.
A note on medical advice
SneakyKeto is here to help you understand your options. It isn't medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it doesn't replace your doctor, specialist or registered dietitian. Therapeutic diets change how medications work, can mask symptoms that need investigating, and can cause harm when self-prescribed — particularly in kidney disease, epilepsy, diabetes and in children.
Please never stop or change prescribed medication because of something you read here. And if you have red-flag symptoms — unintentional weight loss, blood in stool, difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting — see a clinician rather than changing your diet.
