I had severe intestinal issues after eating some watermelon.

Yes, watermelon can cause diarrhea, especially if you eat too much or have digestive issues:
FODMAPs: Watermelon is considered a high FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) fruit because it contains short-chain sugars that some people have trouble digesting. In particular, watermelon contains relatively high amounts of fructose, a type of FODMAP that some people do not fully digest. Watermelon is high in FODMAPs, which are fermentable short-chain carbohydrates that are difficult to digest. This can lead to bloating, gas, and diarrhea, especially for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Fructose Watermelon contains a lot of fructose, a natural sugar that can be hard for your body to digest. This can cause gas, bloating, and an upset stomach.
Lycopene: Watermelon also contains lycopene, which can cause digestive issues like loose stools and nausea if you eat it every day.
