Question 1

why do i get sick after drinking orange juice? is this an allergy?

Accepted Answer

Not necessary: Allergy to oranges (including juice) can present as itching, hives, wheezing, vomiting, diarrhea and less likely anaphylaxis.  If symptoms are limited to stomach upset only, it may be only a food intolerance possibly related to the acidity.  If a person can tolerate a small amount, but GI symptoms with larger amounts, this supports an intolerance.  Either way, if it bothers a person, avoid.

Question 2

when i drink guava, litchi and orange juice, it causes me to cough for a while. could this be an allergy?

Accepted Answer

Not Likely: Given your description is doesn't sound like a typical allergic reaction which usually includes one or more of the following within minutes to 2 hours of ingestion: hives, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, wheeze, vomiting, or passing out. Sometimes drinking cold beverages can cause a coughing fit in some people. See an Allergist for further workup and evaluation if concerned.

Question 3

i have a cold and also a huge craving for orange juice. would orange juice treat my symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Not particularly: Fluids and rest are great for colds.  If you like orange juice, go ahead.  It can upset the stomach if too much is taken in due to the acidic nature of the juice.  It is a good form of vitamins especially vitamin c.  It may or may not help your cold, but if you think it does, have at it.  The craving?  Be careful.  Lots of sugar in oj.  Water is good & take vit c tablets for the same sans sugar!

Question 4

hi, i feel urine in my urethra and i feel sometimes a urge to urinate but nothing comes out when i drink orange juice my symptoms get much much worse also chocolate i did a cystoscopy and ultrasound was normal please help??
thanks?

Accepted Answer

Urinary urge: You don't mention whether there is some burning on urination or what your urologist thinks is the problem. I assume urine cultures are negative for infection. Low grade nonbacterial urethritis or prostatic congestion and/or mild inflammation are possibilities that cause urge, but your urologist is best to answer your questions and advise you. In the meantime avoid caffeine and acidic drinks.

Question 5

can take a vitamin c supplement if im allergic to orange juice? i self diagnosed my allergy (i get white filled bumps when i drink oj)

Accepted Answer

Yes, but of ? Value?: See answer: https://www.Healthtap.Com/#user_questions/684218 & check: http://lpi.Oregonstate.Edu/infocenter/vitamins/vitaminc. Orange juice, more that oranges, is very high sugar & sugar drives obesity, diabetes mellitus, cv ds, high blood pressure. Allergies are behavioral responses, under internal control, occurring for any combination & variety of reasons, always self-diagnoses not doctors.

Question 6

how can orange juice be considered only a medium gi juice?  there's a lot of sugar in a serving size...up to 40g per 12 ounces.

Accepted Answer

Orange juice: I am not certain what a GI juice is. Orange is an excellent source of fiber and K and vit C.

GI juice sounds hokey to me.

Question 7

does vit c on its own fight off flus?i usual get sick for a week.this time drank 2l of orange juice and was 100% healthy next day.almost 2good2 be tru

Accepted Answer

Most orange: juice contains added sugar, which is not good for us.  When we are sick we need additional vitamin C.  C lasts about 12 hours in the body, so take some both a.m. and p.m.  If becoming ill, add or two middle doses.  Glad you are feeling better.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

is drinking orange juice bad for a baby?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It can promote cavity forming bacteria to live in the mouth. These bad guys live at the base of the bacteria pyramid and are hard to get rid of.

Question 9

would kellogs and orange juice a decent breakfast?

Accepted Answer

No: No, too much carbs and unbalanced. Add protein and a little lean fat.

Question 10

can i get sick from drinking a daily dose of 64oz of orange juice?

Accepted Answer

YOU MAY : Irritate the living daylights out of the lining of your stomach from drinking excess amounts of an acidic juice. Maybe abdominal pain/cramps/diarrhea/nausea?
