Too Much Spinach

Consuming an excessive amount of spinach can cause gastrointestinal distress, including bloating, cramping, and an excess of gas. This is because spinach is high in both fiber and oxalate, which can be harmful when consumed in large quantities. Some people may be more sensitive to the effects of oxalate and may experience these symptoms after consuming smaller amounts of spinach. In general, spinach should be eaten in small amounts as part of a healthy and varied diet.
