1. Digestive Problems and Stomach Irritation
Raw garlic in particular is very pungent and can irritate the stomach lining. Consuming it in large amounts may cause bloating, nausea, heartburn, and even diarrhea. People with sensitive digestive systems or conditions like acid reflux may find that daily garlic makes their symptoms worse. Cooking garlic tends to lessen these effects, but the risk still remains if consumed excessively.
