Due to the appearance and texture, when cooking sweet potatoes, the skin is usually peeled off, and then cut into granules or flakes. In fact, sweet potato skin is rich in nutrients and dietary fiber, and it is recommended to eat without peeling. Eating raw sweet potatoes is easy to cause symptoms such as hiccups and abdominal distension.

Sweet potatoes are high in sugar. Eating too much will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid. Excessive secretion of gastric acid will stimulate the contraction of the stomach, and the gastric acid will flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and vomiting.
