What to know about strawberry
Strawberries are anti-inflammatory and clean on most triggers, but they release histamine and are high in salicylates. That is a common reason they cause hives, itching or flushing even when other fruit is fine.
Watch for
- Histamine liberator, so it can set off flushing, hives or headaches even though the berry itself is low in histamine
- High in salicylates, a frequent trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Moderate FODMAP by volume, so a large bowl can bother a sensitive gut
