Diarrhea after eating too much cucumber may be caused by high moisture content, pesticide residues, indigestion and other reasons.
1, high moisture content
cucumber contains a lot of water, excessive intake of cucumber may cause excessive intestinal swelling, and stimulate intestinal motility, leading to diarrhea.
2, pesticide residues
If cucumber is not properly cleaned or cooked, resulting in pesticide residues, excessive intake may cause intestinal irritation, leading to diarrhea.
3, dyspepsia
Cucumber contains more dietary fiber, especially indigestible cellulose. If intake of too much cucumber, may lead to increased burden on the digestive system, causing diarrhea.
