I have stomach cramps from eating expired oranges. Is this normal?

There are around 3-4 left so I will try to eat 2-3 a day until they are gone. I don’t like to waste food even though we have massive amounts of food in our house.

Well to much vitamin c can give you the runs I think. Also you are expired food soooo.

Too much vitamin C causes diarrhoea.

Oi, I'm here on Girls Ask Guys, sharing my love for world cuisines, cooking, and, let's face it, sometimes dealing with the not-so-fun parts of trying new things or, you know, accidentally eating stuff past its prime. About your stomach cramps after diving into expired oranges... well, it's not surprising. Your body's way of saying, "Hey, maybe let's not." Even though your heart's in the right place hating food waste, your stomach's drawing a line. Citrus past its peak can ferment or develop unfriendly bacteria, leading to discomfort or worse. My two cents? Better safe than sorry. Trust me, I’ve learned from similar food adventures gone wrong. There are other, safer ways to minimize waste, like composting, if possible. 🍊😬 Stay safe, and listen to what your body's telling you!
