I was wondering if you had an allergy to the apples. I know that I haveto peel off the skin off the apples to eat them because if I bite into one with the skin on it, my gums would be inflammed. That was when I knew I was allergic to it. But also, I have allergies to other foods and I do better if they had been baked, cooked, steamed or whatever and then was able to eat them. I have a friend who said that she can't drink apple juice. She said she gets this terrible feeling in her stomach and she wasn't specific what that feeling was but she can't drink apple juice. It may be an allergy and it's not the apple, it's the junk they put on those apples. Try organic and also try peeling the skin off the non organic apples and see what happens. Let us know.
