Weird food thing
This is kind of strange. For almost 8 months I've been eating 4 servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruit each and every day, like you're supposed to but very few people do. So my research is pretty extensive. I discovered a new vegetable, broccolini, which is tasty and cool. I have my likes and dislikes but I try different things. I've always liked pineapple, so I eat fresh pineapple from time to time. A couple of weeks ago I had some and I experienced a weird reaction. My mouth was hurting and sore and irritated. I assumed that I had somehow aggravated some preexisting sore on my gums or inside my mouth. My prosthetic sometimes causes this. It was so bad I bought some antiseptic mouthwash and used it for a day. I waited until the problem had cleared up completely and then tried to finish the pineapple about 4-5 days later. As soon as I bit into it I experienced the same thing! Instantly my mouth became highly irritated, the gums were sore and burning. Of course I stopped. And I did what you always do in cases like this, I googled. And found a small number of posts from people who had this kind of reaction to pineapple. I know the juice is acidic -- they tell you not to make jello with it because it won't jell. So now I have to cross pineapple off my fruit list, which sucks because already I can't eat one of my favorites, grapefruit, because of taking Lipitor. Anybody ever heard of this?
