Can too much cinnamon make you sick?!


Question: I've been trying to eat more garlic, cinnamon and fish. So I'm trying this cinnamon thing out in the morning.
I drank cinnamon pecan coffee and put cinnamon (powder) in my vanilla yogurt for breakfast, I am now nauseaed and I feel sick to my stomach could it be all of the cinnamon.
I felt fine before breakfast and its the first day with this kind of coffee..Its not life threating just thought I'd see if anyone knew

I have just run a research on this on wiki for you and there is nothing to indicate that cinnamon is anything but beneficial and often used for medical benefits of the digestive system. Maybe there is something else wrong with you and you are associating it with the cinnamon because that is the last flavour you can taste and the flavour is strong. It the nausea lasts too long you may wish to check with your doctor.
You're welcome. Thank you for your response. Report It

    • well if u eat too much u may have a slight tummy ache =\
    Wow, how much cinnamon did you use? It could be that all you had was coffee and yogurt - acids and dairy, and the two could have upset your tummy. Kind of like putting ice cream in coke - it bubbles up and foams.

    Cinnamon is generally pretty tame and research has shown that two teaspoons of cinnamon a day demonstrates properties that reduce the likelihood of type II diabetes.
    if you eat too much of anything it can make you feel sick
    try lowering the amount you eat everyday so your body doesn't have a bad reaction to it
    yes Cinnamon does that.
    if you eat it without being mixed into anything completely, it will make u sick to your stomach and if you eat even a spoonful of it you are guaranteed to vomit. I'm not entirely sure why but my friends tryed eating a large amount of it because people say its impossible to do without vomiting.
    but by no means is it life threatening. youd feel better if you puked, cause its in your throat.
    definitely.
    my friend to much of anything will make you sick, try it in moderation.
