What to know about coconut
Fresh coconut flesh is clean on most sensitivity triggers, but it is only low FODMAP in small portions and turns moderate by volume, so a big handful can bloat a sensitive gut even when a bite is fine. It also rates borderline for histamine and tyramine, which is why a large amount can contribute to a flush. Dried and desiccated coconut pack the same FODMAP load into a smaller serving, so the amount matters more than it looks.
Watch for
- Moderate FODMAP by volume: fresh flesh is low FODMAP around 2/3 cup, but the FODMAP load adds up past a cup, a common bloating trigger
- Dried and desiccated coconut concentrate the FODMAPs, so a low FODMAP portion is smaller (roughly 30 g) than the fluffy volume suggests
- Borderline for histamine and tyramine, so very large amounts can add to flushing or headaches in the histamine-sensitive
