TCM Health Care: What Fruit Hurts the Stomach Most?
Tomatoes are very acidic and may stimulate the stomach to produce more gastric acid. So eating too many tomatoes will lead to symptoms such as pantothenic acid and heartburn. Ketchup is also made from tomatoes. Mint will relax the esophageal sphincter and increase the chance of pantothenic acid. Be careful of anything that contains mint, such as mint tea, mint candy and mint gum.
