Here’s where it gets personal. Not everyone reacts the same way. Some people can eat a whole bag of cherries and feel nothing. Those people are wizards, obviously.
Do bing cherries give you gas? – Foodly – Magazine #1 Food
For the rest of us mortals, it depends on how many you eat. Three cherries? You’re golden. A whole mixed bowl? You might become a walking symphony.
Your gut microbiome also plays a role. If you’ve got a delicate ecosystem—like a terrarium that’s been overwatered—cherries will wreak havoc. Sorry, friend.

Dried cherries are even more concentrated. That sorbitol is basically on steroids. A handful of dried cherries is like a gas bomb in a tiny package.

Stick with fresh, please. Your future bathroom self will thank you.
