What happens if I eat too much chestnuts?

3 min read
While chestnuts are a nutritious seasonal treat, containing valuable vitamins and minerals, eating them in excess can lead to several unpleasant side effects. Overindulgence, primarily due to their high fiber and carbohydrate content, can cause significant gastrointestinal discomfort, including gas and bloating. Additionally, raw chestnuts contain tannic acid, which can cause stomach irritation for some individuals if consumed in large quantities.
