What to know about peach
Peaches are a classic stone fruit and a classic FODMAP trigger. Their standout issue is sorbitol, a sugar alcohol common to stone fruit that is poorly absorbed and ferments in the gut. Peaches are also high in salicylates and act as a histamine liberator, so a ripe peach can cause bloating, an itchy mouth or flushing in sensitive people even though the flesh itself is low in histamine.
Watch for
- High in sorbitol, the sugar alcohol shared across stone fruit, which draws water into the intestine and commonly causes bloating, wind and loose stools
- High in salicylates, a frequent trigger for people who react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Histamine liberator, so peaches can bring on itching, flushing or headaches despite being low in histamine themselves
- High FODMAP overall, from sorbitol plus some excess fructose, so tolerance drops fast with a larger serving
