Re: constipation?

Anja,

My money would be on the bananas. You might experiment and take them

out for a while and see if it clears up.

Hey,

I make very delicious smoothies with bananas (1-2) (or pineapple or

maybe canned fruit ), kefir (1-2 cups) and raw honey, they are

about 3 cups and are just YUM, they have whipped cream on top (I

think it is whipped cream as it's different to whipped milk and there

is a separation of cream in my milk to start with.

I can drink those 3 cups straight down (as it's so yummy ) and as

long as I don't have another smoothie, I feel fine, but then I get

constipated. Kefir is usually thought to solve this problem, not start

it!

I know bananas are known to help with diarrhea, so might that be the

problem? But just 1 or 2 bananas? I like them ripe and sweet.

Hey Anja,

I'm with on this. Bananas are anti-diarrheal which could also mean constipation! Remember the "BRAT" diet for those who are not feeling well and having diarrhea. Bananas, rice, apples and toast.

I love bananas too! I know they're reputed to be high in carbs but hey, bananas go with just about any fruit in smoothies! But you could try taking them out for a while and see if there's any effect.

Good luck!

Hey,

thanks for the suggestions, my body obviously just needed some time to

get used to more kefir (about 6 cups today )
