Can cherries cause vomiting?
My toddler ate a lot of cherries yesterday evening. This morning she vomited twice. Could eating too many cherries have caused her to vomit?

Yaar, actually it depends on how much you ate. If you swallowed the seeds by mistake or ate way too many, it can mess up your stomach and cause vomiting. Best is to drink some warm water and rest for a bit.
Oh god, even I get so paranoid when things like this happen. Cherries have a lot of fiber and some natural sugars that might not suit everyone's stomach, especially if they weren't washed properly. Just keep an eye on how you feel, and if the vomiting doesn't stop, please connect with a doctor soon.
Honestly, I can eat a whole box of cherries in one go because they are so addictive! But yeah, eating too many sour or cold ones on an empty stomach can definitely trigger acidity and vomiting. Moderate eating is key, though it is so hard to stop.
My family doctor actually told me that cherry pits contain a small amount of amygdalin, which is toxic if chewed and swallowed in large numbers. Even without the seeds, the high fiber can cause sudden bloating or reflux leading to vomiting. If you just swallowed them whole, they usually pass, but do consult a physician if you feel very sick.
Beta, in our days we used to eat all kinds of wild berries and sometimes our stomachs would get upset. It is usually just a temporary reaction to the sourness or some mild food poisoning. Drink some light coconut water or warm ginger tea and you will feel much better by evening.
