Do dried apricots cause diarrhea n vomiting and a swollen belly?
Yes, dried apricots are a laxative – similar to dried prunes. Even though they are dried and easy to eat, you are essentially eating an entire apricot. So you fed your son 10 apricots at once, which is a huge fibre attack on the colon. No wonder he was uncomfortable. He most likely vomitted because of his young age – adults are likely to have a few hours of discomfort in the bathroom without vomitting. In the future limit the dried apricot consumption for your son to 1.
