Anyone get stomach ache from apples?

[whatisheupto]

Since childhood, I have found eating apples gives me stomach ache, makes me burp, makes me gassy. It's like I can feel the acidity on my stomach. The trouble is I really like them! It's only a slight discomfort so I eat them and put up with it, but recently I am deciding it's not worth it! Any ideas why apples would cause this? I'm really intrigued to know what causes it or if anyone else gets this. Dr Google hasn't come up with much!

Have a look at the fodmap diet. Apples were a no go for me because of this.

Green apples give me reflux, red are fine for some reason. Sad because I love granny Smith's

That's interesting @whatisheupto , they don't give me stomach ache or make me gassy but they make me very very hungry! Like I haven't eaten in absolutely ages, loud grumbly tum, sort of hungry.

Whenever I mention it I get and looks!

Yes they do for me I have no idea as to why though.

Oh wow @lucysmam me too! I forgot to mention that!! Exactly the same, make me feel ravenous. So weird!! Glad to find out I'm not alone!! @dreamingofsunshine thank you, very interesting re fodmap, I'll take a look.

Both my girls love apples & will happily munch their way through 2-3 a day if I don't stop them.

I've been the same since I was small & stopped eating them altogether, apart from an odd bite pinched from dd2 every now and again, so I'd guess they don't do the same to them.

Yes, but only if I eat them on an empty stomach

It's not straight away but I do think they make me hungry.

There's something on Apple skin that I'm mildly allergic to. Have to wash them before eating.

They give me acid, also I’m more hungry after an apple so I rarely eat them unless in a crumble with custard

Before anyone says, it's not a carb/sugar thing making me hungry. I can eat plenty of other sugary things without the same effect.

I can't eat apples as it gives bad pain in my tummy. I used to love apples, but just can't do it anymore. Definitely more than slight disconfirm though for me it's all apples as well. Would love a red apple to munch on!

Definitely check out the Fodmap diet. Apples are a no go for this very reason.

Yes I get this, if I eat an apple I turn into one

They don't make me sick or gassy but they definitely make me hungry! I used to say that when my mum would suggest I eat one if I complained I was hungry, she never believed me, I thought it was just me! Why is that??

Wow, there's a few of us then! Seems the humble apple has a lot to answer for....
