Eating non-citrus fruits like papaya, watermelon, or bananas on an empty stomach is generally safe and can actually be beneficial for your digestive health.
Papaya: Contains the enzyme papain, which is excellent for soothing the stomach and aiding digestion.
Watermelon: Provides high hydration and is very gentle on the gut.
Bananas: Are an excellent source of potassium and energy, though if you have a very sensitive stomach, you might occasionally feel a slight 'heaviness.'
There is no medical evidence to suggest that eating these on an empty stomach causes harm. In fact, fruits are digested more quickly than complex meals. However, every individual's gut microbiome is different. If you personally experience any bloating or acidity, try pairing the fruit with a few soaked almonds or 15-20 minutes before your main breakfast.
Overall, it is a healthy habit. Keep a check on how your body feels and adjust accordingly.

Thanks for enquiry First of all papaya is not a citric fruit. U can avoid citric food before meal but seasonal fruits like watermelon is good to prevent from dehydration. But one thing u also kept in your mind that if you are eating watermelon then u can see some red things in your stool so don't start panic immediately

To eat fruits on an empty stomach depends entirely on individual tolerance and specific health goals. some people thrive on a morning fruit habit and some experience discomfort or issues
Next Steps
Sensitive stomach eat gentle fruits like papaya or melons. Diabetics should pair fruit with protein like apple with peanut butter. If prone to bloating eat fruit 1 to 2 hours after a meal instead of first thing
Health Tips
For active individuals, a banana or apple on an empty stomach before exercise can be beneficial
