Re: too many bananas/yogurt causing D?

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Yes, I am, thankfully. I did a couple of things- I read " Life Without Bread " and

thought about limiting my carbs- not going no carb, but limiting them. I know

some people do this for yeast, but I tried it because of the GI benefits

discussed in the book, and it seems to be working. My weakness was using honey

in tea, and yogurt, so I cut that out. I also love frozen bananas, and I could

eat a bunch, but I limit them to one a day or less.

Bananas have a lot of carbs. You may want to consider not eating as many- still

have your smoothies, but then eat more protein, fats, or lower carb fruits and

veggies instead.

I also am trying LDN, and I think it is making a difference. Still, I was

" mushy " a few days ago, and since cutting down on carbs, it's better.

Hope this helps!

past few weeks I've had some D. Not severe but it's not " normal " either. I was

doing really good and since I don't have alot of pain, no blood, and no

noticeable mucus I'm thinking maybe this is the cause. Anyoen have similar

experience?

I'm not counting. The book says 72 grams, or about 6 " fruit units " . I eat fruit

once or twice a day, and I cut out honey. I was drinking a lot of tea with honey

all day long, and eating bananas a lot, so I just cut back, but not strictly.

Can you do dairy? Avocados are good, how about cheese, extra meat, butter,

coconut oil, nuts butters- calorie dense foods. I know the argument against fats

causing fat- but going for more calories without too many carbs will help. You

still need some carbs- how about adding nut butter and coconut oil to the banana

smoothy?
