Third, the precautions for eating apples Patients with nephritis, diabetes and ulcerative colitis should not eat apples. The crude fiber in apples can cause physical discomfort. Especially in patients with acute ulcerative colitis, it is easy to cause serious complications.
Apples are hard, so you should chew them slowly, so as not to affect the intestines and cause digestive problems. It is not advisable to eat apples immediately after meals. When the food is still being digested after a meal, eating apples immediately will increase the burden on the stomach and even lead to bloating, diarrhea and other inedible apple cores.

Although apples are rich in nutrition, we should eat less, only one a day, before meals.
