Does anyone else get chest/upper abdominal pain when eating watermelon? I get the same pain when i eat grapes sometimes. It just started happening out of the blue one day. I used to be able to upwards of 20lbs of watermelon in a day. Now I'm on the floor after eating 1-5lbs. Like questioning if I'm have a heart attack type pain.

Must be the fibre scratching on some inflamed bowel walls. The second bend from transversal to descendend is very close to the heart and especially there a lot of problems occur, and fruit wants to move! I'm so happy that I hate watermelons. But when pineapples or kiwi or even oranges got angry at me, well I stopped eating them for a while. There is so much else, so if my body tells me painpain, then I don't go digging for more, and roll on the floor. I remember so well those toothpain attacks that cooked food gave me, those nights in bed when I just wanted to leave this broken body here and fly away, but now it's all perfect. Teeth heal! Everything heals. Now I know it and thankyou body for your pain signals! Buddha said: "Avoid pain and you'll be fine."
You already food combine, right? I know if there's any remnants of starchy food or nuts in my tummy I will get stomach pain upon eating watermelon. I try my best to eat it only in the morning, or 2 hours after eating any other fruits or veg.
Finally find people that have the same experience i do after eating watemelon, grapes and other high glycemic fruits. I just had a 10 minute attack after eating 2 cups of watermelon. From the diaphragm up i get intense achey pain that also radiates thru the upper arms. I am also rolling on the floor from it. I suspect it is a result of the sugar because I took a blood sugar reading during the attack and I was at 7.4 mmol/133mg from a starting point of 4.2 mmol/75.6mg. I am not diabetic and use the blood sugar testing and as a way to understand my body's response to food.
About 30 years ago when I drank 250ml of sugar pop, I had a similar attack. Now this only happens from high glycemic fruit - I love watermelon - but looks like I have to stay away from it :)
I also took 600mg of chromium polynicotinate 5 mins into the attack to help end the pain faster. It is now 45 minutes past the attack and my blood sugar is at 5.7 mmol/ 102.6mg.
I used to have this problem! It occasionally happened with mangoes, but with watermelon it was like clockwork! About 15 minutes into eating I would get severe and debilitating chest pains that would last for 10-15 agonizing minutes. Depending on how slowly I ate the watermelon and at what point I stopped eating the pain would be more or less intense.
The weird thing was that after the pain went away I could eat as muh and as long as I pleased with absolutely no problems.
After about 3 months of this I was fed up! I like watermelon too much to stop eating it! I remember reading a bunch of different thigs that it could be, but started with the easiest: water! I was badly ever drinking the liter upon rising because I was too hungry to wait. But once I started making absolutely sure to SLOLWY drink a liter of water before breakfast, then wait a few minutes, then eat the watermelon slowly (which is much more enjoyable anyways), the pains tappered off and completely vanished. I'm not Sure if it's a combination of time spent on the diet and the water, or just one of those, but I'm not complaining!
I recommend trying different things out, hopefully one of them will work for you!
I'll occasionally get pain in my right shoulder if I eat too many grapes at one sitting or sometimes just too cold. I also get tit it sometimes if I make too large a banana smoothie, anything over 1.5 litres at one sitting. But never have a problem with water melon or get abdominal pain.
I did read online that gall bladder problems can cause both abdominal pain on the right hand side just below the ribs & in the right should/arm after eating. But I think a more likelier reason for me at least is just gas or trapped wind from eating too fast.
My wife and I are only a week into this and went 100% cold turkey on everything else. When I used to eat watermelon it was completely fine but now when I eat it I get the same issue.

mine is not stomach, it is above the diaphragm and upper arms. I had an empty stomach, nothing to eat for 14 hours before.
