✔ Avocados contain latex-like proteins that can trigger allergic reactions in people sensitive to latex gloves, bananas, or kiwis.
✔ Symptoms may include itchy mouth, swelling, digestive issues, or skin rashes.
✅ Alternative: If you’re allergic, opt for chia seeds or walnuts for healthy fats.
2️⃣ People with Kidney Problems 🩺
✔ Avocados are high in potassium (even more than bananas), which can be dangerous for people with kidney disease.
✔ Failing kidneys struggle to filter excess potassium, leading to heart palpitations, weakness, or serious complications.
✅ Alternative: Stick to low-potassium foods like apples, berries, or rice.
3️⃣ People Taking Blood Thinners (Warfarin Users) 💊
✔ Avocados are rich in Vitamin K, which helps blood clot but can interfere with blood-thinning medications like Warfarin.
✔ This may lead to unwanted blood clotting or reduce medication effectiveness.
✅ Alternative: Maintain a consistent intake of Vitamin K foods so your medication dose remains stable.
4️⃣ People with Sensitive Stomachs or IBS 🤢
✔ Avocados contain polyols, natural sugar alcohols that can cause bloating, gas, or diarrhea in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or sensitive digestion.
✔ Some people may experience abdominal discomfort even with small amounts.
✅ Alternative: Eat smaller portions or choose low-FODMAP foods like carrots, zucchini, or quinoa.
