What to know about cherry
Cherries look like a clean, anti-inflammatory fruit, and on most panels they are, but they quietly stack four separate triggers at once. Cherries are high in salicylates, they act as a histamine liberator, and they are high FODMAP from both excess fructose and the sugar alcohol sorbitol. That pile-up is why a handful of cherries can bring on flushing, an itchy mouth, bloating or loose stools even when other fruit sits fine.
Watch for
- High in salicylates, so cherries can be a hidden trigger if you react to aspirin, berries or other salicylate-rich produce
- Histamine liberator: they prompt the body to release its own histamine, which can drive flushing, itching or headaches even though the fruit itself is low in histamine
- High FODMAP twice over, from excess fructose and from sorbitol, a poorly absorbed sugar alcohol that pulls water into the gut, so even a small bowl can cause bloating, gas or diarrhoea
- Mildly high in oxalate, worth a note if you are managing calcium-oxalate kidney stones, though it is the least of the cherry concerns
