What to know about canteloupe
Canteloupe is one of the gentler melons on most triggers: it is low in histamine, anti-inflammatory and low in fructose, so it rarely causes the bloating that watermelon can. Its one real watch point is salicylates, where it rates moderate to high, so canteloupe can still feed a salicylate reaction like hives, itching or headaches if you are sensitive. Compared with watermelon, which piles on excess fructose, canteloupe is the easier melon on the gut, though the two share that salicylate note.
Watch for
- Moderate to high in salicylates, the main reason canteloupe can contribute to hives, itching or headaches in salicylate sensitive people
- Much lower in fructose than watermelon, so it is the gentler melon choice for a sensitive or IBS gut
- Rated high in lectins in our data, which only matters if you follow a lectin avoidance approach; for most people it is not a concern
