I Love Bananas

Bananas aren't a high calorie food. A medium size banana averages 105 calories - not much different than any other fruit or even a slice of bread. They're good value too for the calories - lots of potassium etc.

I love banana pancakes for breakfast - 2 bananas and an egg in the blender then cooked like a pancake.

Hi,

Reading this train made me hungry! I had two bananas sitting next to my desk - supposed to be for later and couldn't resist - ate them now! :rolleyes:

For choc dipped bananas try freezing the bananas before you dip them in chocolate. The chocolate will harden immediatey and no drips.

I love fresh banana as a side to curry / or a meat dish. Sometimes I chop a banana and have it with brown/red rice and egg. A favorite breakfast of mine.

Banana fritters are fabulous... I add coconut to mine and fry them in virgin coconut oil. The flavour is soooo good.. (tried making them with rice flour the other day... not as good, but still ok).

Thickly spread with peanut or cashew butter is my all time favourite.... calorie counting or not!

oh wow! I forgot I posted this topic a while back...I don't eat any table sugar or brown sugar so I just slice the banana in half and put them on my george foreman grill for a few minutes. They dont look the best but they taste great! Brown sugar, blueberries, and almonds do sound really good on them though!

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.
    • Steve-n-Portland
      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).

      Wow!! Scott, Trent and Christiana thank you so much for your fast replies!! The information you have shared with me has helped me tremendously.   Thank you for all the articles.  I appreciate you all so much!! I’ll keep you posted in this post.  I will encourage her to get tested.  I feel a little better!

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana
