Zippering (fruit disorder) on tomatoes. This disorder (abiotic disease) happens when the flower anther sticks to the developing fruit as it grows. Characteristic symptom is a thin brown longitudinal scar with transverse scars resembling a zipper. It extends down the fruit. There may be more than one scar on a fruit. An open hole may develop next to the scar.

Like dairy products, chocolate and citrus fruits, tomatoes are a common cause of food intolerance.Food intolerance, in turn, can cause of bloating and distention, or a visible increase in abdominal girth.hoto Credit fotokostic/iStock/Getty Images.
