Patient's question:
If you eat honey and get a stomachache, vomit, and have diarrhea for ten hours, which naturally subsides, what should you do?Doctor's answer:
Honey is the sweet substance made by bees from the nectar of flowering plants, which they collect and ferment in their hives.First, this may indicate you could be allergic. Everyone has different allergens, and reactions to the same allergen can vary from person to person. Your vomiting and diarrhea might be related to an allergy—you may be allergic to pollen. In that case, get tested for allergens and seek desensitization treatment.
Second, it's possible that the smell of the honey is causing your vomiting and diarrhea. If that's the case, try switching to a different variety of honey. Alternatively, you could purchase honey from another source to see if that makes a difference.
