Acid Reflux or Heartburn: Tomatoes are naturally acidic, containing citric and malic acids. Eating them in excess can trigger or worsen acid reflux and heartburn, especially in people with

GERD. Image Source : Canva Digestive Problems: Tomatoes are rich in fibre, which is good in moderation. However, excessive consumption can lead to bloating, gas or diarrhoea, particularly if

your digestive system is sensitive or you're not used to a high-fibre diet. Image Source : Canva Joint Pain or Inflammation: Some evidence suggests that tomatoes might exacerbate joint

pain or inflammation in people with arthritis. This is thought to be due to solanine. Image Source : Canva Kidney Issues: Tomatoes contain oxalates and are high in potassium. Eating too

much can pose a risk for people with kidney problems, as it can lead to a buildup of potassium or contribute to kidney stone formation. Image Source : Canva Mouth Sores or Irritation: The
