Patient's question:
The other day I was working all the time and didn't rest well, so I often ate a lot of fruit to take care of my skin's condition. These past few days I've eaten a lot of apples, but I've been constipated. I don't know if it's because of the apples. Do you get constipated from eating apples?Doctor's answer:
Eating apples does not cause constipation. The pectin in apples can regulate gastrointestinal function, and consuming apples during constipation can promote bowel movement and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, apples contain rich organic acids that can stimulate intestinal movement, so they will never cause constipation. You should also pay attention to drinking more water and avoid overtime work recently. Eating habits should be regular, and it is important to consume more easily digestible foods.
