So, to recap: cherries cause gas because of a three-pronged assault—fructose overload, sorbitol’s stubborn refusal to be digested, and fiber’s enthusiastic sweeping. Your gut bacteria turn all of this into a mini fermentation festival, and you… well, you become the venue’s sound system.
It’s not your fault, and it’s not the cherry’s fault. It’s just a delicious misadventure between your body and nature’s candy. So next time you feel that first little gurgle after a cherry binge, just nod wisely and say, “Ah, the sweet sound of summer.”
