but the unfortunate side effect is.... Comments By: Anon Both apples and cucumbers are known to cause flatulence, which is neither helpful nor fun if one has indigestion to begin with. The skin of cucumbers can also be quite bitter, depending on season.   Bad idea Comments By: Nurse Carrie Never mind the scientific explanation of why it 'doesn't happen' (!) - many people suffer badly from indigestion after eating cucumber or hard apples with or without the skin. Let's major on common sense here and learn from experience - forget high falluting theories - abandon the cucumbers and apples - not to mention bananas - if they don't agree with you.
