As I am trying to fix my relationship with food and also eat healthier I found that fruits and vegetables with a little season and sauce can help replace a lot of the junk food I have been consuming.
Tonight was nothing out of the ordinary. Same dinner with lots of vegetables, lean protein, etc. Well after making a nice meal (chicken, veggies, rice) I wanted dessert.
Now prior to this diet change I’d usually chow down on a pint of ice cream or eat some out of a quart container, but not today. I looked in the fridge and saw some apples that were getting a bit past their prime so I immediately thought of ways I could jazz them up and eat them. So I cut up the four apples, put some Carmel on top and sprinkled a bit of salt. They were so good! Before I knew it the four apples were no more and I was happy and satisfied!
Well fast forward to about 30 minutes ago and I’m not so happy or satisfied.. if you don’t already know eaten in large quantities apples can have a slight laxative effect… I learned that the hard way.. or shall I say EXPLOSIVE WAY😭😭 first it started off subtle with just the feeling of having to go number two which I did just fine with no issues. Then about 15 minutes after the initial bowel movement I get a stronger wave of stomach cramps and what felt like an over flowing blender in my stomach. My cheeks immediately clenched harder then they have before and it was a race to the toilet which I thankfully got 1st place 🤝 what followed was nothing short of machine gun fire out of my butt 🙁 I thought it was over so I took a shower and went to bed. Let’s just say that was not the end of the torment.. as soon as I closed my eyes I just knew.. BOOM queue me jumping out of bed, clenched cheeks “sprinting” to the toilet then follow with another machine gun Vietnam front lines firestorm 🙁 as things died down I sat there regretting my dietary choices the hours prior hoping this was the end.
Thankfully after I washed off (again :/ ) I felt empty in a good way. I’m now in bed hoping there are no more surprises tonight.. 🤞
TL;DR Too many apples = explosive diarrhea 🙁

So sorry, that’s a hard lesson to learn. Apples are great in moderation. I’ve seen some yummy looking air fryer recipes for baked apples, but you may have an apple aversion for a while.
4 apples at once is one hell of a change. And I know exactly what you went through after that because I’ve had similar experiences. Not necessarily after eating a certain thing but the race to the bathroom multiple times while being fractions of an inch away from repainting my entire backside has happened a few times 😂
Wow so TIL, thanks! But also I’ve never had any desire to eat 4 apples in one s(h)itting.
You may be low in some vitamins. Vitamin C will do this till it builds up in your system and I believe some others do as well
You keep your apples in the fridge?
If you wanna snack – Bell pepper strips. That’s what I do for movie nights – cut a few Bell peppers in slices, make yourself a yoghurt dip and bomb snack.
I learned that the first time I went apple picking. I came home with a 5 gallon bucket of apples and pretty much snacked on them nonstop. By day 2 I had was begging people to take them off my hands.
