Well it could be that you are alergic to the citrus. Do you actually cut the pineapple before you eat them. That would make a difference.

Dietary effects
Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme bromelain, which digests food by breaking down protein. Pineapple juice can thus be used as a marinade and tenderizer for meat. The enzymes in pineapples can interfere with the preparation of some foods, such as jelly or other gelatin-based desserts. There is significant evidence pointing to the anti-inflamatory benefits of bromelain. Some have claimed that pineapple has benefits for some intestinal disorders while others claim that it helps to induce childbirth when a baby is overdue. These enzymes can be hazardous to someone suffering from certain protein deficiencies or disorders, such as Ehlers-danlos. It can also be used in savory dishes to enhance digestion.
Pineapple is a good source of manganese, as well as containing significant amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin B1.
[This might answer your question - the problem probably has to do with the bromelain and your sensitivity to it.
Fresh pineapple usually causes more problems that canned - maybe due to the processing done during the canning.

Mine gets like that too and I LOVE pineapple. I believe it's the acid in the pineapple. Not much you can do about it. It affects some people more than others. It happens to me with swiss chesse, too,for some odd reason...

Pineapple has lots of citric acid in it.

I think it because of the fruit acid in it, kinda like after you eat alot of Captain Crunch cereal, and the roof of your mouth hurts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
