Question:
Does eating grapefruit help ease a upset stomach???
OK....it may sound weird, but this morning my stomach has felt so upset, sour like. Almost like I had dirreah (spelled wrong..lol) but I decided to go into work. I didnt want to eat any food cause I didnt want to upset it any worse and be in the bathroom all morning, so I decided to eat some fruit cups. It was red grapefruit. After eating a few peices, and about 10 mins later my stomach felt great. Wonder does the fruit have anything to do with it?
Answers:
The fruit contains pectin, which is considered good for settling an upset stomach, due to the fibrous content.
And just about any bitter fruit will have astringent (germ killing) and stomach settling effects.
