Artichokes and Feeling Ill

The reason many people ask this question is because there are lots of others out there who have sensitivities to certain foods and artichokes are sometimes one of them.

These people usually suffer from irritable bowel and hypersensitivity to certain foods which end up causing some tummy trouble. So if you happen be part of that category of people than it may make you feel sick in that way.

But artichokes are not known to make a person feel sick because of anything inherent in the vegetable itself. Artichokes have lots of fiber, water, vitamins, minerals and are generally considered very healthy.

If you tolerate other foods like cabbage and broccoli just fine then chances are you're not going to have a problem with artichokes. The only other way you will feel very sick after eating an artichoke is if you ate the parts you are not supposed to eat. Sort of like eating an orange peel would make you feel ill after eating it.

Other than that artichokes don't seem to be a food that makes people feel ill. But like I said in those who are sensitive to certain foods they may end up getting diarrhea and feeling like they had a mild case of food poisoning.

Hope this was helpful.
