Why shouldn’t you eat tomatoes on an empty stomach?

Female  45 years old 2018-06-04
I usually like to eat tomatoes. Sometimes I eat a tomato in the morning. Last time my friend said that I can’t eat tomatoes on an empty stomach. Why shouldn’t I eat tomatoes on an empty stomach?

    The reason why tomatoes should not be eaten on an empty stomach is that tomatoes contain a large amount of soluble astringent and other ingredients, which react with stomach acid and coagulate into insoluble lumps, which can easily cause gastrointestinal distension and pain.
