3. Individuals on a Low-FODMAP Diet
Watermelon contains fructose, a natural sugar that some people with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) struggle to digest. It may cause bloating, gas, or stomach cramps in sensitive individuals.
4. People Prone to Allergies
Though rare, some people may experience allergic reactions to watermelon, especially those allergic to ragweed, cucumber, or cantaloupe. Symptoms might include itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
5. Those Watching Sugar Intake
Even for people without diabetes, eating large portions of watermelon can contribute to high sugar intake. One cup contains about 9–10 grams of sugar.
Bottom line: Watermelon is nutritious and hydrating, but it isn’t ideal for everyone. If you fall into one of these categories, it’s best to enjoy it in moderation or consult with a healthcare provider.
