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. :ph34r:

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. :blink:

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

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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
