Is Watermelon OK?

[Atomic_Mama]

I’ve just been diagnosed with acidosis and gastroenteritis. :eek: I’m supposed to be eating “bland” food until my tummy gets better.

Can I eat watermelon?

If I say “yes” and you die, we’re both gonna look pretty stupid.

On the one hand, watermelon is over 90% water. On the other hand, a 3.5oz serving provides 14% of your daily Vitamin C. On the other other hand, you should call your doctor’s office and ask them.

Obviously watermelon isn’t okay. Apparently it can cause severe mutations such as growing a third hand.

Maybe Atomic Mama will grow a second stomach that doesn’t have such problems.

Thanks, Dopers!

At least it doesn’t hurt when I laugh

If that occurs Atomic Mama can ruminate a bit longer without feeling bloated waiting for an answer.

I’m severely allergic to watermelon. Pretty freaky, I know, but it makes my throat raspy and my lip and tongue swell. Do not be fooled by this vicious melon’s cunning public relations campaigns!
