What to know about coconut water
Coconut water is clean on histamine, salicylate and oxalate, which makes it a gentle electrolyte drink, but it is not a free pour for a FODMAP-sensitive gut. It carries some excess fructose and sorbitol, so it is only low FODMAP around 100 ml; a full bottle can bring on bloating or loose stools. Packaged versions may also carry sulfites or added sugar, so it is worth checking the label.
Watch for
- Low FODMAP only in small amounts (about 100 ml); a full glass or bottle brings excess fructose and sorbitol that can loosen stools or bloat
- Marketed as a natural electrolyte drink, which is fair for potassium, but the FODMAP load rises quickly with volume
- Some bottled coconut waters use sulfites or added sugar as preservatives or flavour, a caveat if you react to either
