Intolerances
- SalicylateHigh
Cola contains salicylates naturally from flavorings (like kola nut, spices, caramel coloring) which can trigger reactions.
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
Cola / soda with caffeine is problematic because caffeine and some additives block DAO enzyme (the one that breaks down histamine), making histamine levels rise.
- FructoseModerate
- TyramineLow
- SucroseNone
- FODMAPsNone
- LactoseNone
- OligosaccharidesNone
- SorbitolNone
- NickelNone
- OxalatesNone
Fructose in soda worsens oxalate issues by increasing oxalate production and reducing calcium absorption, even if the drink contains no oxalates itself. High sugar/artificial sweeteners : promote growth of harmful bacteria and yeast, reducing gut diversity.
- GlutenNo
