When eating foods with high osmolality due to high electrolytes, amino acids and simple sugars, why do people suffer discomfort?
When nutrition of high osmoticity is ingested, large amounts of water will transfer to the stomach and intestines. Large amounts of water in the gastrointestinal tract can cause distention, cramps, nausea, vomiting, and shock. The body tries to keep the osmoticity of the contents of the stomach and intestines at approximately the same level as that of the fluid surrounding them. There is great variation from one individual to another in sensitivity to the osmoticity of foods.
