Apples & Bloating

[Miss Inquiry]

I might be unique, does anyone else suffer from bloating after eating an apple? I have noticed it a lot recently after eating apples.

Hi Miss Inquiry, Yes i always get bloated after eating apples, took me a while to discover what it was but defo apples. In fact i've discovered all fruit bloats me so i have had to cut down on the amount i ate, or eat it first thing in a morning, the bloating was not so bad then. Hope that is of some help!!xxx

Thanks, I used to eat apples in the morning, but recently have been eating them in the afternoon, this could explain the change. Really appreciate it.

I dont get bloated after eating apples but I could certainly burp for England after eating one

If you eat fresh fruit at the end of a meal other than strawberries or raspberries the fruit gets mixed with the other food in the stomach and starts to ferment, hence the bloatedness. If you eat fruit on an empty stomach the fruit (very quick to digest) goes straight through to the intestines. Just wait 15 minutes then you can eat. Since I've known this I now eat fruit around 5pm on an empty stomach and I'm fine.
