Stomach ache and diarrhea after eating watermelon
-
Hi, I am 27 years old. My 14 years old daughter has stomach aches and diarrhea every time she eats watermelon. She gets stomach aches and diarrhea immediately after eating a small amount of watermelon. How is this possible? What should I do?

@yojana Hello, maybe she is fructose sensitive. Watermelon's high FODMAP status may indicate it causes digestive issues among fructose-sensitive people; you shouldn’t expect a stomach ache every time you eat a large serving. Watermelon is a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as the antioxidant lycopene, which is revered for its cancer-fighting properties and cardiovascular health benefits While Eating too much watermelon may cause abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas, and diarrhea due to its high FODMAP content.
