Experts recommend limiting guava consumption in the following cases:

People with diabetes

According to experts, diabetic patients should limit their consumption of guava and should not drink guava juice every day because guava has a high glycemic index with GI = 78. If eaten improperly, it will cause blood sugar to increase. If the condition persists, the patient is at risk of facing dangerous complications such as blindness, kidney failure, amputation of limbs, and even death.

People with constipation

Especially for pregnant and lactating women, if there are signs of constipation, they should reduce their consumption of guava, because guava contains a large amount of fiber, especially green guava. This fiber takes a long time to digest when entering the body. While the fetus grows larger, it will put pressure on the stomach and intestines, plus the pregnant mother’s body has erratic changes… These are the reasons why pregnant women are prone to bloating and constipation.

People with stomach problems

Guava is very good for the stomach, however, people with stomach pain should eat it in moderation, should not abuse it, because the guava is hard when chewed and does not break down, forcing the stomach to work to crush the guava, so the pain will be worse. In addition, people with stomach pain should absolutely not eat guava or drink guava juice on an empty stomach.

People with weakness

People with weakness often have poor digestion, so eating guava directly will be difficult to digest, causing the stomach to contract a lot. If you still want to eat it, you need to use guava in the form of juice or puree.
