Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Allergic: or intolerant. Heavy pineapple consumption can lead to vomiting & diarrhea because it contains Bromelain. Large doses of vitamin C can also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea & abdominal discomfort. Some people have significant allergies to pineapple.
