in anything in a pineapple indigestible?

Question

i eat a lot of pineapple and my friend said she saw something on tv where hawaiians go in for surgery a lot to remove huge lumps of stringy stuff from their stomach because that part of the pineapple can't be digested. i can't find anything like this online. can anyone help me. i love pineapple so much.

Answer 1

the fibre is indigestible

however, it is a good thing to eat and makes your bowels regular (it forms the majority of your bowel action)

however if you eat TOO much pineapple and don't drink enough water, you might form a big lump of pineapple fibre and need a hawaiian operation :-)

Answer 2

your friend is nuts.
