A member asked:
Does eating green eggplant causes discomfort or pain in esophagus and esophageal sphincter? i have that way or is it allergy to anything? help!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It shouldn't. By if you do have discomfort, you may have an allergic reaction to it. The best option would be total avoidance if this is the only food you have problem with since this is not an essential nutrient. Any test findings would not change your response be it positive or negative.
