Grapes (Red)

Red grape intolerance often results from salicylates, tannins, or fructose. Avoid them temporarily, try digestive health supplements, and consider milder alternatives like green grapes or berries to manage symptoms effectively.

🍇 What are Red Grapes?

Red grapes are small, juicy fruits with a sweet flavor and a smooth, edible skin. They’re rich in antioxidants like resveratrol, vitamins C and K, and natural sugars, making them a popular snack and ingredient.

🤔 Why do I have an intolerance to Red Grapes?

Intolerance to red grapes may arise from:

• Salicylates: Naturally occurring compounds in the skin can trigger sensitivities.
• Fructose: Grapes are high in natural sugars, which may cause issues for those with fructose malabsorption.
• Tannins: Found in the skin and seeds, these compounds may irritate sensitive systems.

🛠️ What can I do about it?

• Avoid red grapes and red grape-based products for 8 weeks.
• Gradually reintroduce them to test tolerance.
• Keep track of symptoms during and after the elimination period to assess improvements.

💊 Supplements for Intolerance to Red Grapes
