Many medicinal properties are found in garlic. It works as an excellent immunity booster. Although the consumption of garlic in moderation is considered suitable for health, overeating can have many side effects.

Digestive Problems

The amount of fructans in garlic is high. Fructans are a carb that can cause bloating, gas and abdominal pain.

Heart Burn Problems

Consuming garlic on an empty stomach or eating it in excess sometimes leads to the problem of heartburn.

Worsens Bad Breath

If someone has a problem with bad breath, they should not consume garlic because it can increase or sometimes worsen the lousy breath.

Prevent Clotting

Overeating garlic increases the risk of excessive bleeding due to its antithrombotic properties, preventing blood clotting.

Headaches

If you have a headache problem, do not consume excessive garlic. Consuming raw garlic in excess can make your headache more frequent.

These are a few examples of the adverse effects of excessive consumption of garlic. Try to consume it in moderation to avoid any further side effects. See a doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
