Can eating too much Cucumber make you ill?!


Question: Can eating too much Cucumber make you ill!?

The reason i ask is because my 3 year old daughter loves to eat Cucumber, She would eat it all day if i let her, Obviously i don't let her!.
She asks for it a lot so I'm just wondering if she eats too much would it make her sick or have diarrhea or something!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
eating too much of anything isnt good for you!. I guess she could get too much water, and having a water poisoning can result in a coma and eventually in death!. That would take about 7 litres of water for a grown up, not sure how much for a little kid!. I guess half a cucumber a day is more then enough for a kid her age!. Anyway i wouldnt worry too much, be glad she isnt asking for chocolate ;)Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you eat to much of anything it'll make you sick!. especially kids!. to much of anything is bad!. whatever it may be!.

I don't know what problems there are from eatting to much cucumber, but it probably won't be good!.

Edit: didn't define "to much" but if she has like half every now and then i don't think it'll cause any problems!. but not like 1 now, then another in 15 mins, and so on!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

too much of anything is never too good!. is she eating the skin too!. i am sure she is not eating so much to make a difference but make sure the skin is not waxed!. better to buy organic is she is eating the skin too!. if she is not having diarrhea then she should be fine!. just make sure that she it not getting full off of the cucumbers and not getting enough nutrients from other food that contain protein, and the necessary fats that she needs!.

My 14 month old is the same, it might give her diorrhea if she ate too much!. Cucumber is a diaretic, which means it would make her lose water more, but to be honest i wouldn't worry if she's not eating tons of the stuff!. Its better than chips or crisps!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.my daughter who is now 6 just loved cucumber and now her and her friends come home from school and I cut a whole cucumber in two and they have half each!.!.!.!.!.!.!.it is just water really!.
