What Causes Vomiting Sensation After Eating Fruits?

Hello!After I eat a piece of orange, my body immediately induces a vomit attack: my heart begins to race, my saliva glands begin to over-produce, and I have to run to the bathroom to throw up. This reaction happens within a minute of me eating it. It s been going on for about 5 years now. I ve since then stopped eating oranges all together, which sucks. Every now and then I ll think maybe I can have one slice but it always ends the same way: with lunch in the toilet. Now it s starting to happen with other fruits: strawberries, avacados... My list is growing and I m starting be afraid of eating any kind of fruit.I looked up oral allergy syndrome, but most of those symptoms are itchiness and hives around the mouth and skin. I don t get any of those symptoms, I just get nauseous and throw up. But I feel completely fine afterwards.What s wrong with me and fruit? Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of vomiting sensation after eating fruits which seems to due to gastrointestinal disturbances and it could be due to acute gastritis. It could be due to electrolyte disturbance and underlying systemic pathology. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antiemetic like domperidone and ranitidine for gastritis. You should take plenty of fluids. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. Take diet rich in fibrous food and green leafy vegetables.You should take oral rehydration syrup as well. You should take Ibuprofen for fever. For time being avoid eating fruits . If you will feel severe symptoms of vomiting you should go to hospital and get antiemetic injection and intravenous fluids after proper consultation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
