Coriander seeds

Coriander seed intolerance is a condition that impairs the digestive system’s ability to process coriander seeds—the dried seeds of the coriander plant commonly used as a spice. It can cause symptoms such as bloating, gas, or stomach discomfort after eating. Unlike a coriander seed allergy, which triggers an immune response, this intolerance generally leads to non-immune, digestive-related reactions.

Description

What is coriander seeds intolerance and how does it differ from coriander seeds allergies?

Coriander seed intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process compounds in coriander seeds, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a coriander seed allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in coriander seeds, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Coriander seed intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

When should I consider getting a coriander seeds intolerance test?

If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming foods or products containing coriander seeds, it may be wise to consider a test for coriander seed intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.

How can I manage and cope with coriander seeds intolerance in my daily life?

Managing coriander seed intolerance involves avoiding or limiting foods and products containing coriander seeds. Since coriander seeds are a common spice used in many cuisines, it’s important to be cautious when reading food labels and choosing dishes.
