What should you do if your mouth is bleeding from a pineapple?
I (and apparently many people from YA) had a bunch of pineapple in one sitting and found that their mouth, gums, and lips were bleeding from the acidity. What should i do? i mean, it's like rubbing my tongue (which is bleeding profusely since i continued eating after it began bleeding) on sandpaper now.
Why does pineapple make my mouth bleed?
do you have a sensitive mouth, do you have problems with any other citrus fruit? sounds like the acid in the pineapple might be affecting you, unless you are bleeding profusely then, i wouldn't worry too much, i would just suggest not to eat it
Emergency, i just eat a pineapple and now my mouth is bleeding?
You probably just cut your mouth/lip
Why did my tongue bleed after eating pineapple?
The pineapple contains a protein called ananase / fruit bromelain / FA2 with is an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of proteins at specific sequences of peptides in the protein. Some plants have more than others. The enzyme can be used as a meat tenderizer because it can break down connective tissues.As it turns out, many people are sensitive to it. It can essentially “burn” their tissues by breaking down proteins in the tissue.You should probably avoid eating raw pineapple if you have this reaction. Cooking the pineapple should be sufficient to denature the enzyme and render it harmless, so you can enjoy Hawaiian pizza or pineapple upside-down cake. Also, the enzyme is largely deactivated in the canning process. You might have better luck with the canned kind.
Pineapple makes my lips bleed?
Why is that? I am assuming it is the acidity in the fruit, however I have never had this problem with oranges. I eat like half a pineapple(I know, HALF!!! Pineapple is so yummy) and then my lips have a ton of cracks and its bleeding quite a bit. Also, note my lips are semi-chapped. dry but not like yeah.
When ever I eat kiwi or pinnapple my mouth bleeds.Why?
I remember when I was younger eating kiwi would make me and my brother's mouths bleed. But it never seemed too affect our parents. I recently tried kiwi again and same result, my mouth bled. But today I ate some pineapple and my inside lips bled and my tongue burns. The inside of my lip really stings. I've never had this problem with pineapple before and pineapple doesn't affect my brother. Just me. What is this? Should I worry about it? I'll probably not try to eat them again, at least for a while. But is this some sort of allergy to tropic fruit or something?
Pineapple cutting my mouth and causing blood?
So I've eaten pineapple loads of times but never more than a quarter of the entire fruit at a serving. Unfortunately, I was craving something sweet and ate nearly the entire pineapple until I noticed I had blood on the piece of pineapple I was eating. I had felt a slight stinging but ignored it. I literally bleed like I had lost a tooth. Anyways, after that. I wiped the blood and continued eating my small slice of pineapple when I started bleeding again. (This happened like 5 minutes ago). So then, I wipe off the blood again and tried to just brush my teeth which I couldn't because of the horrible stinging. And I can't drink water or even lick my lips without a horrible (luckily) temporary sting. I have eaten pineapple day after day, so I know I'm not allergic. And I did not eat the outer spiky part of the fruit. And just now I looked really closely and noticed what looked like tiny dark pink cuts on both my upper and lower lip. So.. Anyone wanna tell me what I did wrong or what's wrong me?
How long do I need to eat pineapples for the abortion of my 1 month old fetus?
So the reason some people think pineapple will work as an abortifacient is that it contains bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down protein, which people think will break down the pregnancy or soften the cervix or otherwise lead to an abortion.Here’s the problem with bromelain. Those very same protein-breaking-down properties are why it’s sometimes used as a meat tenderizer, and that’s exactly what it will do to your mouth. Have you ever eaten a lot of fresh pineapple (only fresh pineapple or juice contains bromelain) in one sitting or over several sittings close together? Eventually your lips crack and bleed and the inside of your mouth feels raw. And it doesn’t take that much to reach that point - just a few slices. Certainly not the multiple whole pineapples one would need to consume in one sitting before it even began to influence a pregnancy.Your mouth will be cracked and bleeding and in severe pain long before you have consumed anywhere near enough to cause an abortion.Please see a doctor.
Why does pineapple seem to cut up a person's tongue, gums, and mouth?
Fresh pineapple is very acidic, so what you are experiencing is acid burns on your soft tissues. One needs to use discretion when eating pineapple, to not eat too much. And always rinse well with water a few times after having eaten pineapple to remove the residual acids.I worked in Hawaii at a restaurant for one summer and had never, ever, had fresh pineapple. I simply gorged myself on it for a few days. I had to stop because it felt like there were a thousand knives in my mouth. I decreased my consumption and also limited it to only one or two days a week. But, I did eat the core, the center of the pineapple daily which still had some of the flavor of the pineapple but not the acid content.
