Can Watermelon and Peaches be Eaten Together? Are There Any Harmful Effects?

Watermelon and peaches can usually be consumed together, and appropriate consumption generally does not cause harm to the body. However, excessive consumption may irritate the digestive tract. Watermelon is a relatively common fruit that is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and has a high water content. It also contains a large amount of fructose. Peaches are also high in vitamins and rich in minerals. Eating them together generally does not cause obvious discomfort. They can be consumed appropriately according to one's actual condition, which can enhance appetite, promote intestinal motility, facilitate bowel movements, and improve constipation. However, the consumption should be strictly controlled, as excessive intake may irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, acid reflux, and belching. Especially for patients with gastric ulcers, consumption is generally not recommended. If obvious discomfort occurs after consumption, medications such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Capsules, and Colloidal Bismuth Pectin Capsules can be used under the guidance of a doctor to reduce irritation to the gastric mucosa. One should always pay attention to changes in their body. If other symptoms of discomfort appear, standardized treatment should be sought early.
