    The gastrointestinal tract is directly affected by ingested zinc, causing multiple gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea to be reported after oral zinc uptake from galvanized containers. A study found similar symptoms in 26 of 47 volunteers who took zinc sulfate tablets for six weeks. Other zinc compounds like zinc oxide and zinc gluconate can also impact the gastrointestinal system, with one case of nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and gastroduodenal corrosive injury after ingesting zinc oxide lotion.

    zinc

    The gastrointestinal tract is directly affected by ingested zinc, before it is distributed through
    the body. Therefore, multiple gastrointestinal symptoms after oral uptake of zinc have been
    reported. Brown et al. described several cases in which high zinc ingestion resulted from
    storage of food or drink in galvanized containers. Ingestion was caused by the moderately
    acidic nature of the food or drink, enabling the removal of sufficient zinc from the galvanized
    coating. The resulting symptoms included nausea and vomiting, epigastric pain, abdominal
    cramps, and diarrhea [40].
    In a study by Samman and Roberts, symptoms such as abdominal cramps, vomiting and
    nausea occurred in 26 of 47 healthy volunteers following ingestion of zinc sulfate tablets,
    containing 150 mg elemental zinc, for six weeks [43]. However, similar doses have been used
    in several other zinc supplementation studies without comparable side effects [44].
    In addition to zinc sulfate, other zinc compounds like zinc oxide and zinc gluconate also have
    a similar impact on the gastrointestinal system [45–47]. A 39-year-old man showed nausea,
    vomiting, and abdominal pain six hours after ingesting 150 g of a 10% zinc oxide lotion, but
    without signs of systemic toxicity. Furthermore, he developed gastroduodenal corrosive
    injury. The symptoms persisted for three days and on the fifth day of admission, the corrosive
    injury showed regression without cicatrization [47].
    selenium

    Nine cases of acute selenium intoxication were described by Kerdel-Vegas (1966) in persons who
    had consumed nuts of the “Coco de Mono tree” (Lecythys ollaria) from a seleniferous area in
    Venezuela. In most cases, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea occurred a few hours after eating the nuts,
    followed by hair loss and nail changes a few weeks after the initial episode. Most patients appeared
    to make a satisfactory recovery, with eventual regrowth of hair and nails; but a 2-year-old boy died
    due to severe dehydration. Samples of Brazil nuts marketed in Great Britain contained an average of
    22 ppm of selenium (Thorn et al., 1978), and Chavez (1966) reported signs of selenium toxicity in
    rats fed diets that included defatted Brazil nut flour containing 51 ppm of selenium. Brazil nuts
    marketed in the United States also are high in selenium, with 6 percent of one sample containing
    100 ppm or more (Palmer et al., 1982).

    Sodium
    The present study provides some evidence that high-salt diet may affect body health
    by altering digestion and absorption of dietary proteins, secretion of host enzymes, and gut
    microbiota composition.
    Potassium

    When potassium levels are high, smooth muscle contractions may be too weak to coordinate that
    forward movement through the GI tract. This can lead to nausea, vomiting, and the build-up of
    abdominal gas.
    Gastrointestinal symptoms of hyperkalemia can include:4
    Abdominal gas and bloating
    Nausea
    Diarrhea
    Vomiting (rare)
    Iron
    Nausea
    Vomiting’s
    Constipation
    Change in faecal defecation
    Jaundice
    abdominal pain, diarrhea,
    hematemesis, and
    hematochezia

    magnesium
    Severe overdoses of magnesium are rare in otherwise healthy people. Getting too much magnesium
    from the diet is not typically a cause for concern.
    Occasionally, a high dosage of magnesium from supplements or medications can cause mild
    symptoms of an overdose, including diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps.
