Serving size, prep, and portion notes for 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
