Rocket

Rocket (rucola/arugula) intolerance involves difficulties in digesting rocket, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from an rocket allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in rocket, potentially causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance primarily affects the digestive system, resulting in symptoms like bloating or diarrhea, while allergies involve a broader immune system response.

• Bloating
• Gas
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea

If you consistently experience digestive issues such as bloating, gas, or abdominal pain after consuming arugula or dishes containing rucola (arugula), it may be worth considering a test for arugula intolerance. Persistent symptoms correlated with arugula consumption suggest a need for further investigation. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine whether these symptoms are related to intolerance or another medical condition.
