What to know about honeydew melon
Honeydew melon is a sweet summer melon that is clean on most triggers but high in excess fructose (grade D) and high FODMAP overall (grade D). The problem is the sugar, not amines or histamine: honeydew holds more fructose than glucose, and that excess fructose is poorly absorbed in the small intestine, so it ferments and pulls water into the gut. A large serving can bring on bloating, gas or loose stools even though the melon itself is low in histamine. That fructose-led profile is what sets it apart from watermelon and cantaloupe.
Watch for
- High in excess fructose, which is poorly absorbed and a common cause of bloating, gas and loose stools in fructose malabsorption
- High FODMAP overall, so it is best kept to a small portion on the elimination phase of a low-FODMAP diet
- The trigger is dose-dependent: a few cubes are usually fine, a big bowl is where symptoms show up
- Low in histamine and free of the amine triggers, so reactions are almost always gut-based, not skin or sinus
