Apricot

Apricot intolerance may stem from fructose, unique proteins, or sulfites in dried forms. Avoid apricots for 8 weeks, use alternatives like peaches or carrots, and consider supplements like probiotics and digestive enzymes.

🍑 What is Apricot?

Apricot is a juicy, sweet fruit with a velvety skin and golden-orange flesh. Packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, apricots are enjoyed fresh, dried, or as an ingredient in desserts, jams, and savory dishes.

🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Apricot?

Intolerance to apricot may arise from its natural sugars (like fructose) or specific proteins that can trigger a sensitivity. Dried apricots also contain sulfites, which can exacerbate symptoms in sensitive individuals. Your reaction could stem from:

• Fructose malabsorption: Trouble digesting natural fruit sugars.
• Sulfites: Commonly found in dried apricots, potentially irritating.
• Specific fruit proteins: Triggering mild to moderate intolerance symptoms.

🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

• Avoid apricots and apricot-based products for 8 weeks.
• Gradually reintroduce them afterward and monitor symptoms.
• Opt for foods rich in similar nutrients, like carrots or peaches (if tolerated).
• Keep a food diary to track sensitivities.
