Re: weird banana reaction - problems with fruit sugar :(

[Guest guest]

Thank you so much for your input. I am actually down to 81, but I'm about 3

feet shorter than you, and it was probably over a longer period of time -- due

to eating too little because I was afraid about how food makes me feel. I had

been able to gain weight, but only feeling horrible in the process. Over the

past couple months, I have been really restricting my diet, but was able to

maintain the weight with lots of bananas and avocados and peanut butter - hence

the worry about not eating bananas. I think a good compromise would be to

stick to cooked fruit only and try some banana pancakes and stop the fruit

juice. The yeast thing is interesting, I'll probably wait on introducing honey

as well as all fruit juice and stick to a little cooked fruit, and see how it

goes...

Thanks!

Mindy - thank you so much for your advice. I hope the banana pancakes will work

for me I think I'm gonna cut out the fruit juice completely for a couple

weeks and try a plain applesauce with no honey soon and see if that works.

Thanks again.

symptoms - nausea and fever-like and weak. These problems were getting better

day today until after tried my first new food - 1/2 of a small banana. I also

felt this sort of sugar high hyper feeling and pains in my stomach after eating

the banana - which I've also noticed after drinking the white grape juice. I'm

thinking - is fruit sugar a problem for me? Or is it my body is going through

die-off and fruit sugar somehow making it worse? The other thing is, I've had

these pains since last night after eating salmon - which I figured bothered me

because it was too fatty. The weird thing is, it flared today when I had my

second glass of white grape juice (diluted) of the day, along with a bowl of

grape jelly. I want to continue to have the banana - I've sort of counted on

this to get me through the beginning stages of the diet to help me from losing

too much weight. Should I wait a couple more days before trying it? I was also

thinking of staying off the grape juice for a while as well...would apple cider

be a better choice?
