Question

Can someone help me with understanding if radish, especially the white kind, is okay for acidity issues? A friend mentioned radish juice could help with my constipation, but since it has a spicy taste, I'm worried it might actually cause more acidity.

  1. Effect on Acidity:

    • White radish has a mild spicy taste that might increase stomach acid or cause discomfort in those with sensitivity.
  2. Constipation Relief:

    • It is high in fiber and water, aiding in stool softening and promoting bowel movements.
  3. Moderation is Key:

    • Start with small amounts of radish juice to monitor your stomach's reaction.
  4. Alternative Options:

    • Consider gentler remedies like warm water with lemon or fiber-rich fruits such as papaya.

If acidity symptoms worsen after consuming radish, avoid it and consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.
