Guava Side Effects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After knowing the various benefits of guava, then there are some side effects of guava that need to be considered. The side effects of guava are related to certain health conditions, ranging from mothers who are pregnant or breastfeeding, eczema sufferers, to diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o If taken: Guava fruit if consumed as food. Guava fruit extract and guava leaves are also safe when used as a short-term medicine. However, the side effects of guava leaf extract can cause temporary nausea or stomach pain in some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o If applied to the skin: Guava leaf extract is safe when applied to the skin or in the mouth as a rinse. However, this method may cause skin irritation in some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Guava is safe when consumed as food. However, there is not enough reliable information to know whether guava is safe to use as a medicine during pregnancy or breastfeeding. You can consume enough guava for daily consumption<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Eczema: Guava leaf extract can worsen eczema. Guava leaf extract contains chemicals that can cause skin irritation, especially in people with skin conditions such as eczema. If you have eczema, use guava leaf extract with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Surgery: Guava can lower blood sugar. In theory, guava could increase the risk of bleeding or interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgical procedures. Stop using guava as a medicine at least 2 weeks before the scheduled surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appendicitis is caused by a blockage in the appendix, a small tube-shaped structure that attaches to the beginning of the large intestine. There is an assumption that eating guava or any fruit seeds ingested can cause appendicitis. Is it true?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can eating guava or other fruit seeds cause appendicitis?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, food is not the direct cause of appendicitis. However, a blockage of the appendix that then becomes inflamed can occur due to the buildup of certain foods that do not break down when digested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, chili seeds or popcorn seeds which in fact are mini may not be crushed along with other foods so that they can clog the intestines in the long term, and eventually cause appendicitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small pieces of food can block the surface of the cavity that runs along the appendix. This blockage can then become a new home for bacteria to multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This over time can lead to swelling and the formation of pus in the appendix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents used to often sentence their children to be affected by appendicitis, if they accidentally swallowed the seeds of a guava or red guava fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also those who believe that eating spicy food can trigger an inflamed appendix, which eventually must be removed by surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Resthie Rachmanta Putri M. Epid from Klik Dokter said that the cause of appendicitis is not known for sure. According to him, preventive measures can only be taken if we know the cause of appendicitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Therefore, accidentally swallowing fruit seeds will not at all cause appendicitis,” he said, quoted from the Klik Dokter website on Tuesday, November 14 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruit seeds that are ingested in small quantities can generally be digested by the stomach and excreted with feces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Digestion Process<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because, after food enters the mouth and we swallow, the food will enter the esophagus, then the stomach, and continue down to the small intestine and large intestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the food that cannot be digested and absorbed, will be excreted in the form of feces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resthie says that this digestive process applies to any food, including the ingestion of fruit seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If the fruit seeds can be digested by the stomach and intestines, the vitamin and fiber content in them is also absorbed by the intestines. However, if the fruit seeds cannot be digested, the seeds will be expelled with feces,” he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risk of appendicitis may increase if you have a family history<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from being blocked by feces or foreign objects, genetic factors also play a role in the emergence of acute appendicitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basta et al. shows the risk of appendicitis in children who have at least a family member who has or has had appendicitis, increased tenfold compared with children who come from families free of appendicitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Basta et al. also found that hereditary appendicitis in the family may be associated with blood type-linked inheritance of the HLA system (human leukocyte antigen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They found that blood type A had a higher risk of developing appendicitis than type O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
