is mango good for loose motio

Pooja

I am dealing with this weird situation after my vacation last week. I really enjoyed a ton of mangoes, like way too many. On the flight back, I started feeling super uncomfortable, like my stomach just went crazy. I was thinking mangoes are supposed to be good for digestion, right? But now I’m wondering, is mango good for loose motio? Because since then, I’ve been having loose motio, and it’s so annoying! I mean, I couldn't even enjoy my favorite mango smoothies after that. I tried to balance it out with rice and toast, but I still have this gurgling feeling. It’s really confusing me, you know? Mango is delicious, but now I'm questioning if I should even eat it again in case it's making it worse. I read somewhere that too much fruit can lead to loose motio, but I thought mango was different due to its fiber. Like, do I just need to stay away from mango for a bit? Or is it actually helpful somehow for this? Should I keep eating them or cut back? Any advice from you docs would be a life saver, I’m just lost here!

Mangoes are indeed a tasty fruit and generally good for digestion as they contain dietary fiber, which can help with bowel regularity. However, consuming mangoes in excessive amounts, like you mentioned, can lead to gastrointestinal issues, including loose motions. This is particularly because mangoes have natural sugars like fructose and can have a laxative effect if eaten in large quantities. Loose motions can sometimes result from consuming too much fruit at once, due to either the sugar content or fiber overload overwhelming the digestive system. In your case, it seems the best course of action is to cut back on mangoes for now. Focus on a more balanced diet that includes binding foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet). These foods can help firm up your stools and settle your stomach. Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water or oral rehydration solutions to compensate for fluid losses. Also, avoid dairy or fatty foods until your symptoms improve. If the loose motions persist for more than a few days, or if you experience dehydration symptoms like dry mouth, excessive thirst, or dizziness, it would be prudent to consult a doctor. They can evaluate for any potential infection or other underlying causes, such as a food intolerance or infection that might need addressing. Remember to gradually reintroduce moderate amounts of mango into your diet once things settle if it’s something you enjoy.
