                                An estimated average daily intake of pectin from fruits and vegetables is around 5 grams, but consuming significantly more than this can overwhelm your digestive system. When you eat too much pectin, you can trigger a cascade of gastrointestinal discomfort due to its high soluble fiber content and gelling properties.
