| Although pineapple is very good for digestion and health, if not consumed scientifically, reasonably, and in the right amount daily, it can also be dangerous for your stomach. Pineapple contains many organic acids and some enzymes that break down protein, which is not beneficial for people with stomach problems and can increase inflammation and ulcers in the stomach lining. If eaten on an empty stomach, the organic acids and bromelin can irritate the stomach and intestinal lining, easily causing nausea and discomfort. |

| Some studies show that many people are allergic to the enzyme found in pineapple; after eating pineapple, 15 minutes or more, this enzyme stimulates the body to produce histamine, causing symptoms such as: intermittent abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, hives, itching, numbness of the lips... in more severe cases, it can cause difficulty breathing. These cases are more common and tend to be more severe in patients with a history of allergies such as urticaria, atopic dermatitis, or bronchial asthma. |

| Pineapples contain glucosides, which have strong irritant properties to the mucous membranes. Therefore, eating a lot of pineapple often causes a burning sensation in the mouth and tongue, and a tingling and itching sensation in the throat. People with a history of rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, or bronchial asthma should avoid eating too much pineapple to prevent the risk of recurrence and worsening of their condition. Additionally, people with bleeding disorders or at risk of bleeding (nosebleeds, dengue fever, large wounds, postpartum hemorrhage in women) should also avoid pineapple. |
