Bannana's

[LuvMoosic4life]

I was never a huge fan of bannana's but I bought some b/c my doctor told me to start eating them since my potassium is low. Well, I ate one after I went running today and was burping it up for the whole day, up to 8 hours after I ate it!!! I ended up getting hungry (even though I was still burping bannana) and ate chicken noodle soup. After having a couple bowls of soup I'm still burping up the bannana!!!

I sware everything this doctor recommends bothers me. He told me cantalope for "C" but it sometimes made me naucious or made a yucky feeling in my stomach.

bannana's bother anyone else?

Bananas give my mom horrible, stinky flatulence. She only eats them when they're just barely ripe (still a bit green) and never before she has to leave the house.

On the specific carbohydrate diet, bananas are one of the more easily digested foods. However, any of us can be intolerant of anything. I don't tolerate bananas well. I don't notice digestive symptoms but I don't test well for it. Years ago I tested it on an elimination diet and it made my resting pulse go up to 120!!!!

thats odd. I was actually thinking about the specific carb diet and that bannanas may be one of the "bad" things. I always thought of bannanas as being high in carbs and slow digesting.....but then thats b/c I never could digest them well

I have never been able to eat bananas. They cause bloating and hours of discomfort.

Banana bread however, is OK. It must have something to do with the baking/heat.

hmmm gluten-free bannana bread sounds good....I think I may try that.

There are other good sources of potassium too. Open Original Shared Link

I've heard that bananas that are not ripe are not easily digestible. I think I saw that on Good Eats. Bananas seem to bother me too though.

its nice to know that i'm not the only one who can't digest bananas but like somebody else said, banana bread doesn't bother me. and neither do the banana bread larabars..so maybe try eating those for potassium.
