Kiwi
Kiwi intolerance is a digestive condition where individuals have difficulty processing kiwi, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This intolerance is different from a kiwi allergy, which involves an immune system response and can cause more severe and immediate reactions. Typically, kiwi intolerance manifests in digestive symptoms after consuming this fruit....
Description
Kiwi intolerance is related to the digestive system’s inability to properly digest kiwi, resulting in various discomforting symptoms. This condition is a non-immune response, in contrast to a kiwi allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in kiwi. Allergic reactions can include severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. In comparison, kiwi intolerance generally results in milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Headaches
If you regularly experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after eating kiwi, it may be wise to consider a test for kiwi intolerance. This is especially important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is not apparent, as it could be a sign of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
Managing kiwi intolerance involves avoiding or limiting kiwi in your diet. It’s important to be aware of kiwi’s presence in fruit salads, smoothies, and other dishes. Seek alternative fruits that do not cause discomfort. For nutrients provided by kiwi, like vitamin C and fiber, include other fruit sources in your diet. Consulting with a dietitian can help ensure a balanced diet while avoiding kiwi. Additionally, keeping a food diary can be useful in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking dietary adjustments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
