I love garlic but it makes my stomach hurt so much that I can’t sleep. Don’t know what’s up with that.

  My wife recently developed a sensitivity to garlic and onion. Fresh garlic and onion are problematic as she feels very lethargic but dehydrated powders and granules are a no-go if she wants to sleep well at all and not feel like she woke up after a night of very heavy drinking (dehydration and headache). Interestingly if she has a glass of wine—especially a red—the effects are amplified. It’s a very strange change and makes eating out quite challenging given how ubiquitous both are in food preparation and seasonings.

    Sounds like it may be related to fructose sensitivity.

  It's a counter indication for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). You can try boiling it first.

  You might want to try cutting clove in half and remove that green/off colored part in the middle. It does help with stomach hurts.
