Boric acid
Other names Boracic acid, E284
Boric acid: no notable intolerance on record.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsNone
Boric acid contains no carbohydrate at all, and FODMAP is an acronym for carbohydrates - fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. There is nothing here for gut bacteria to ferment, so there is no route to a FODMAP effect at any dose.
- LactoseFODMAPsNone
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
Boric acid (E284) has one authorised use in the EU and it is sturgeon caviar, which puts it out of most people's reach. No histamine route: no content, no release, no DAO inhibition. Its own safety questions belong to a different axis of this app.
