Corn causes indigestion in kids?

My Daughter ate a bowl of jagung/ corn kernels and then few hours later she had indigestion and was vomiting. Took her to pd and he said it’s common for corn to cause indigestion in kids. Also popcorn. Does anyone else know what other food causes indigestion if kids overeat? My lo is 4yo

Fiber-rich corn is good for you, but it also contains cellulose, a type of fiber that humans can't break down easily because we lack a necessary enzyme. If you chew corn longer, you can probably digest it just fine but wolf it down and it may pass through you undigested, and cause gas and abdominal pain. Other food that could cause indigestion if you over eat are raw vegetables. Raw vegetables contain a lot of insoluble fiber that, like corn, can cause bloating, gas, diarrhea and cramps when they pass through your system undigested.
