How come after eating too many apples, i get a stomach ache?!
Answers: is there a specific chemical or vitamin that triggers this?
apple has certain acids in it. naturally, because it is a fruit. any type of acid in a large amount wouldn't be too good for you because it would give you hyperacidity.
hyperacdity (DEF)
excessive acidity, as of the gastric juice
here's something:
Pectic substances-Pectic substances are complex colloidal carbohydrate derivatives containing large proportions of anhydrogalacturonic acid units. Protopectin refers to the water insoluble parent pectic material that acts as a cementing agent, holding cells together. During ripening the protopectin is hydrolyzedto soluble pectinic acid and pectin which in part contributes to the softening of the fruit. The pectic substances are capable of forming gels. They contribute to the viscosity or body of the juice and often cause cloudiness, thus making the juice difficult to clarify. Pectin splitting enzymes are used to help with juice clarification.
Organic Acids-Many organic acids are found in apples. These include: malic, citric, quinic glycolic, succinic, lactic, galacturonic and citramalic. Malic acid is the principal acid and citric and other acids are present in trace amounts.
I figured I'd just comment. sorry if you were hoping for an answer. My stomach always fills unsettled whenever I eat aplles too, and it feels good when I eat crap.
I'm not sure what exactly triggers it, but too many apples or bananas can cause constipation.
Yes.
The doctor is kept away, by merely "an" apple a day.
...not "a multitude of apples" a day.
Be careful examining American truisms next time.
I don't know but when I have stomach problems, indigestion, diarrhea, acid stomach - I eat green apples and it fixes it
i am guessing the acid in the apples does not agree with your stomach.....
check,
apple is fuckin sour. whats the sour. its asid. then when you have to much asid in your body your body cant handle it no more so that why you feel sick.
Too much acid.
Don't eat so much, you'll end up getting diheria.
The clue is in the question. Dolt. Eating too much of anything will make your stomach sore. The cure is to eat less.
Sometimes I cant believe how moronic you all are
Too much of everything is bad.
It's not the acid. All acids from fruits are converted once they reach the digestive tract. (i read this a few months ago so i'll try to post the link once i find it)
Most likely you had too much fiber. Since fiber takes some time to digest, eating a lot of apples will force your stomach to "push" the fiber along the intestines even if they are not yet fully digested.
One way to know is to check your stool. Does it look ok or are there still some undigested apple present?
Try to eat slowly and give more time for digestion and see if that happens. ^_^
just dont eat so many apples...just eat a apple banana and peach...thats what i do..haha
because the apples are not good for your body
See your GP.
