Dear I can understand your concern .
I would like to inform you that the environment in your stomach is very acidic. Anything can be digested by this acidic environment .
So in my opinion it's not the fruit worm causing all this .It's more in your brain .
There is no need to worry.
If your pain persist or associated with nausea or vomiting then you should consult to your physician .
Hope this will help you . If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me . Thanks for contacting HCM .
