are too many oranges bad for you?

Hi. lately, for some reason i have been craving and consuming oranges everyday. I have acid reflex but not as severe as it used to be. I used to never eat oranges very much because of the citric acid, but lately I love them and I havent had any problems with them like I used to. However, I want to know if eating too many oranges a day is bad for you? I know healthy foods are good for you but in moderation. I ate an orange yesterday and maybe 2-3 mandarin oranges. Im just crazy for them. They are juicy and taste so good. But I was reading something online that someone said too many oranges can make you burn when you urinate, and that has actually been happening. Could it be from the oranges?

Citrus fruits can irritate the bladder, but in large amounts.  I would not eat them and see if that is the problem and then you will know for sure.  How many do you eat/day and for how long?

Your body will naturally crave vitamins and foods that it needs so you are probably just in need of more Vitamin C....try taking supplements (always with food) and see if that helps.

You can eat all the oranges you want without harming yourself.

But keep away from ice-cream with bones in it.
