Side Effects of Eating Too Many Tomatoes

Acid Reflux

While tomatoes are generally safe to eat, they can cause dietary complications for some people. Tomatoes are naturally high in acid, which can cause heartburn for those with gastroesophageal reflux disease, also known as GERD. People with a food intolerance to tomatoes may have difficulty digesting large quantities of tomato, and canned tomatoes can contain a lot of sodium, which may also cause health complications.

Acid reflux, also called heartburn or gastroesophageal disease, occurs when stomach acid regurgitates into the esophagus, creating a burning feeling. Acid reflux can occur when you eat high-acid foods, such as tomatoes, as well as fatty or spicy foods. If you regularly experience heartburn -- more than two times a week for several weeks -- you may have GERD, which requires medical attention.

Food Intolerance

Tomato intolerance can result from consuming small to large amounts of tomatoes, which can cause digestive trouble such as stomach pains and gas. The symptoms of tomato intolerance may vary from person to person, and in mild cases, symptoms may not result unless large amounts of tomato are eaten, either raw or cooked. If you suffer from a potato, chili pepper or pepper intolerance, you may also find you have a tomato intolerance.
