Severe stomach cramps from fruit?
Posted by: Curator ()

I got ahold of a bunch of yummy fruit yesterday, and had a bunch of the ripest stuff for breakfast, and now im having severe stomach cramps and I feel Nauseous, Ive not had this happen be4, fruits consumed are, in order of largest quantity consumed to least...

1. organic red grapes from a neighbors home garden, a little over ripe but in that perfect sort of way, also thoroughly cleaned. (maybe about a pound)
2. organic figs from tree in neighbors/my yard, a bit over ripe, but still tasty and sweet, thoroughly soaked and scrubbed to remove as much of the latex as possible. (about 5 smallish ones)
3. Organic oranges, really sweet, but rather mild in flavor/acid... washed, then zest removed for making my version of raw marmalade, pith thoroughly removed, orange eaten...(just one)

I have had mild allergic reactions to the really dark red and purple grapes be4,more major reactions to red wines, but never to these light red grapes...

Anybody have any ideas?

Could be food borne pathogens in the grapes. Could be the figs. Or maybe you are just coming down with something and you presented with symptoms coincidentally at the same time as the fruit eating. How are you feeling now, kiddo?

The raw figs would do it for me. Can you eat grains with no problems? What if you eat bananas by themselves? Or if you eat a gooey ripe persimmon, do you have to go to the bathroom soon afterward?

I have no problems with grains, or bananas, I hate the texture and flavor of ripe persimmons, so I have no idea... Ive not had a problem with raw figs be4... could them being a bit over ripe some how change that? I haven't had anymore problems since then, but ive stopped eating the figs and grapes, I want to try them both separately and see what happens, but, I just dont have the energy for that right now, Im really just kinda to terrified to at this point, those stomach cramps where some of the most intense physical pain I have ever experienced, second only to that time my leg got broken by some jerk rolling a rock over it...

Do you wash your fruits or vegetables in any kind of solution or something?

White vinegar and water, I rinse them off first, then soak them for awhile in it, then wash it off... I dont think its as important as it is with non-organic produce however, they dont even spray for bugs on the properties Ive gathered this fruit from... allot of people around here spray for roaches and spiders, as both are in great abundance here...I always shooo both outside unless they surprise me though, a spider crawling on me better have made peace with its god be4 choosing to do so...lol... *shudders*... i tend to swat them the second I feel them without even thinking about it.
