Serving size, prep, and portion notes for cranberry
Cranberries are high in salicylates, one of the more salicylate-rich berries, so they are a common trigger for salicylate sensitivity, and cranberry juice concentrates that load further. The upside is real too: cranberry is strongly anti-inflammatory and only moderate FODMAP as fresh fruit, while the dried, sweetened version is the higher-FODMAP, higher-sugar form to watch. The popular UTI angle comes from proanthocyanidins that stop bacteria sticking to the bladder wall, which is why people drink the juice despite the salicylates.
Watch for
High in salicylates, and cranberry juice concentrates them, so it is a frequent trigger if you react to aspirin or salicylate-rich foods / Moderate FODMAP as fresh fruit, while dried sweetened cranberries are the higher-FODMAP, higher-sugar version to be careful with / Clean on histamine, nickel and dairy and strongly anti-inflammatory, so the salicylate content is really the only flag
