- If vegan or dairy free, replace butter with coconut or olive oil.
- If sensitive to salicylates and amines, avoid coconut, almond, olive and peanut oil and substitute with canola, sunflower, flaxseed or rice bran oils (but ensure organic or non-GMO).
- If lactose intolerant, replace butter with ghee for cooking (providing the ghee is made correctly and not just clarified butter).
