                                While generally well-tolerated in food quantities, large doses of horseradish taken orally can cause significant gastrointestinal distress, with documented cases of stomach upset, bloody vomiting, and diarrhea. This potent root contains volatile irritants that can affect people differently based on sensitivity and amount consumed.
