People with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are advised to exclude apples from their diet. Such an opinion was expressed by nutritionist Olga Korablyova (Russia).
According to RIA Novosti, apples are especially dangerous for ulcers and gastritis. Moreover, eating an apple on an empty stomach causes bloating and irritation of the mucous membranes.
As an alternative, the expert recommends eating boiled apples, as heat treatment destroys the citric acid and malic acids contained in the apple, but retains the pectin, which has a beneficial effect on the intestines.
