Artichokes may upset your Stomach

If you are somebody who has IBS or a very sensitive stomach generally, then there is a possibility that eating artichokes will give you diarrhea. People who have these types of conditions are usually told to stay away from certain foods and artichokes are one of them.

Generally the foods that people are told to stay away from that cause the most upset are foods that contain dairy or sweeteners or certain fruit that are high in fructose etc.

These foods typically have sugars in them like lactose and fructose, among others, that are not well digested and so they stay in the intestine too long, collect a lot of water and that's where the trouble begins.

Although artichokes are on the list of foods that can irritate these conditions, they aren't the biggest culprits and don't give diarrhea to everybody, even those with these conditions.

So while they can, it doesn't mean they will. Many people enjoy artichokes all over the world, all the time and don't have any of these issues as it's not a food that is known to have a big impact on one's bowels. To know for sure, most people will have to try them once and see.

Hope this was helpful.
