Is too much pineapple core bad??

mrskilbride

I know the recommendation is to split it into 5 parts and eat one a day. Is it bad to eat more than that? My DD is doing a science project involving pineapples and I happen to have 3 full cores at my disposal and they don't taste THAT bad. I was thinking of eating 1 full core a day for 3 days..I O'd yesterday. Any thoughts??

Why not? Can't see how it could hurt. Or at least I haven't heard of any reasons not too.

Though I am sure if you googled  enough you'd find something that says otherwise What do I know. You know how it goes!

Lucy, It is supposed to help with implantation..however---- The question I have is how in the he!! do you eat it?? No one has ever answered. I am not sure how you chew it (It is like rock hard) It is even difficult to cut. I am assuming people chop it up and swallow it like a pill..but if you take hte whole core and cut it into 5..that would be ONE HUGE PILL..

sorry I can't tell you how to eat it but I know what it is for...

I blended mine in a smoothie...  I cut the 1/5th into half and the blender didn't have any problem chopping it up for the smoothie.

If you get a really ripe one (very yellow in color) then the core really isn't that tough. It's kind of chewy but if you leave a little of the sweet part on there and eat it together, its not bad at all.

 All I could find in my googling efforts regarding eating TOO much is that it can cause hot flashes and you want to be sure to not eat it prior to O as it can affect your CM ph...too acidic. I did notice after eating the whole core in one sitting, my mouth was kind of numb for awhile. I think I'll eat a little here and there throughout the day but still the whole core in one day rather than 1/5 a day. We'll see....at this point, I'll try whatever!

I have no idea if any of the claims have any scientific merit.  With IVF#1, I ate a lot of pineapple (core and flesh).  IVF#1 was a BFN.  With IVF#2, I didn't eat any pienapple.  It just didn't sound as good anymore.  IVF#2 was a BFP.
