Is This Really True Or Really Not?

Question

A friend of mine told me if you eat to much fruit everyday it will upset your stomach! I don't know about that. Nice answers will be accept but no ugly answers please, thanks!

Answer 1

Haha the only thing I could think of would be eating too much fiber from all the fruit. But then again, that will just regulate you so maybe she's confusing regulation with stomach pain? I don't know.. bizarre.

Answer 2

It might or it might not.  That sort of depends on the person.

Answer 3

well too much of anything will upset your stomach

Answer 4

A variety of fruit may be the solution.  Some, like watermelon, will fill you up pretty fast.

Answer 5

Well, the key is in the "too much". If you eat too much of anything, it will upset your stomach. Also, fruit is generally high in fiber, which is good in moderation but if you eat too much, again, your stomach will have a hard time dealing with it.

Some fruit, especially citrus, is high in acid, which will give you an upset stomach if you eat too much.

So, if it sounds like the common theme is "don't eat too much," you're right.

Answer 6

who said that to you anyway?

Answer 7

Too much fruit can cause diarrhoea. I believe it's due to the high fibre content.

What's "too much"? Well, I'm sure it varies from person to person and it's pretty obvious when you've hit your personal limit!

If your friend eats lots of fruit all the time, I imagine she'd have a very different limit to someone who lives on Twinkies.

Answer 8

Nope, your friend is wrong.

I mean, if you gorge yourself on fruit, yeah you'll get sick. But if you gorge yourself on anything you'll get sick.

Answer 9

I don't know if it is true or not. To get a for sure answer I would tell her to ask her doctor about it.  

Answer 10

Too much fruit everyday will cause it.  All the acid in the fruit will upset the stumach acids.  Everything in moderation!

Answer 11

it may upset your stomach because of all the acids. why do you put " no ugly answers please" have you no faith in your fellow man? thats just wrong

Answer 12

I know whenever my friends two year old is constipated they feed her fruit to regulate her
