What to know about apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is often sold as a health tonic, but as a fermented, unrefined vinegar it carries a moderate histamine load and moderate sulfites, so it can trigger flushing, headaches or a stuffy nose in people with histamine intolerance. It is otherwise clean on FODMAPs at normal splash sizes, and the bigger everyday issue for most drinkers is not a trigger at all but the acid: at roughly 5% acetic acid it is harsh on tooth enamel and the throat when taken neat.
Watch for
- Moderate in histamine because it is fermented, so the raw or "with the mother" bottles can set off histamine-intolerance symptoms even though the amount you use is small
- Moderate sulfites, a separate trigger worth knowing if you react to sulfites in wine or dried fruit
- Acid erosion, not a sensitivity but a real one: drinking it straight or in shots strips enamel and irritates the throat, so dilute it well and rinse
