1. Digestive Issues

Avocados are high in fiber, which usually promotes digestion. But for some people, especially those unaccustomed to high-fiber foods, eating too much avocado can cause bloating, gas, or even diarrhea. Gradually introducing avocado into your diet can help your digestive system adjust.

2. Allergic Reactions

While rare, avocado allergies do exist. Symptoms can range from mild itching or hives to more severe reactions like swelling of the lips or throat. People with latex allergies are more likely to have an avocado allergy due to cross-reactivity.

3. Weight Gain Risk

Avocados are calorie-dense due to their healthy fat content. Eating them in moderation is key, especially for those tracking caloric intake. Overconsumption without balancing other calories in your diet can contribute to weight gain.

4. Medication Interactions

Avocados are rich in vitamin K, which plays a role in blood clotting. People taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin should monitor avocado intake, as sudden increases can affect medication effectiveness.
