I’ve had a few green grapes twice this week at least a day apart and both times I get cramps in my stomach a few hours later and an urgent need to get to a toilet quick which leads to diarrhea coming out fast and hard like a garden hose. This never used to happen before. Why would it cause diarrhea? I LOVE green grapes.

I’ve actually heard about green grapes causing this reaction from other pregnant women. I can’t tell you why, though. Guess you’re just lucky… But I’m liking the the idea of using them later when the iron kicks in. Good idea!

I didn’t mean to scare anyone by throwing around the miscarriage word. Even though I’d heard that about pineapples and grapes, I still ate plenty in the beginning without any worry.

I did a little test and ate purple grapes yesterday and totally felt fine. I don’t know what it is about green grapes, but glad to hear that I’m not the only one. I will use them for help when the iron supplements are hindering anything from coming out… if you know what I mean.

I’ve never heard that about grapes, but I have heard about the pineapple thing. However, I think the thing in pineapple that “causes” miscarriages is in the core of the pineapple, so as long as you stick to the fruit, you should be fine. I mean, really, if you think about it – I’m sure lots of pregos have craved and eaten pineapple and both baby and mom have been fine. Everything in moderation!

I find that it’s with any large amount of fruit. Exactly what you described use to happen to me all the time (when not pregnant) when I consumed too much fruit in one sitting. It usually was grapes or cherries. Likely because they are so good, and I would end up eating WAY too many of them.

I wouldn’t worry about it.

Wow…I have been eating grapes all through this pregnancy and luckily have never had this happen! I think the green grapes are one of my fave snacks! Poor thing! Sounds like you need to steer clear!

Well at least you’ll have a good remedy to use when/if you get pregnancy constipation!

I certainly hope they don’t cause miscarriage because I’ve eaten about a pound of grapes a day all this week- all colors. They’re just so damned delicious… So far so good.

Tatiana – That’s so strange that the grapes made you throw up. Wow.

Punkinmama – I like green grapes better than purple ones, so I’m not sure. Each time it’s happened, I’ve eaten green ones. I will “test” it out tomorrow and eat the purple ones to see if it’s both colors of grapes. I’ll let you know

Thanks for the info, Whitney! Who knew?!
