Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi, Last week my son also had a over ripe banana and he had a fever afterward. I read somewhere that over ripe banana are moldy and that could make your child whiney and irritable as well.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi I experienced the same thing with my son with the over ripe frozen bananas. I do not use anything else just the frozen bananas passed thru the blender. He was really irratable, and that was the only diferent thing he got that day, so I am pretty sure it was from it. Now I am giving him the bananas not frozen, when the little dots start to show and there is no sign of green at the tips. I am thinking that at that point it is ripe and it seems ok. If it gets to ripe I am not going to chance it anymore. Re: ripe bananas Hi, Last week my son also had a over ripe banana and he had a fever afterward.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 , Hi, " Thus, mercury, and any foodstuff that requires or uses up sulfate ions during its metabolism, will make the situation worse. These foodstuffs include foods that supply neurotransmitters, like bananas (serotonin), chocolate (phenylethylamine), and cheese (tyramine), apple juice (and one mother reports her child drank a quart a day!), citrus fruit juices, and paracetamol (Tylenol™). For instance, one or two minutes after a dose of Tylenol™, the entire supply of sulfate in the liver is gone! " That was an excerpt from the article posted earlier called Austism and Phenol-sulphotransferase. I still feed my kids bananas, but not as freely as before this info came to my attention. Your connection might be correct, but how can you deny them all the good potassium and taste we find in those nice fruit? Now Tylenol, that is one we need to find substitute for, and I'd love to discuss that sometime. I have seen Tylenol do scarey things to my son, and this is not a reaction, it is much more subtle and bad for his constitution. It depletes Glutathione which he cannot manufacture enough on his own. Gosh, I hate to bring less than fun info, but awareness is really important in managing this condition, at least it has been for me. I hope you can enjoy the spring weather a bit. > I thought I read somewhere that very ripe bananas had more of something - phenols or something? Luke usually tolerates bananas fine, but I am using VERY over-ripe ones that have been frozen, to make his banana popsicles (made from only bananas, dripped yogurt cheese, and a sweet n low). He has that cheese and also sweet n low in other things with no reaction. He also has just normally riped bananas other times with no reaction. But I think I'm seeing a connection between these popsicles and more of that whiney/irritable/anxious/stimmy behavior. So what would that be about? Is it that VERY ripe bananas have created some higher level of something OFF? > > Thanks for any feedback, > in NC, USA > mom to Luke, 5, Asperger's/low-salicylate; > , 3, healthy;,19mos,healthy; > SCD going since 1/26/04 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi.. can you please tell me where this article... Austism and Phenol-sulphotransferase is posted. We had a terrible reaction today after bananas and I really would like to read it. Thanks! > , > > Hi, > > " Thus, mercury, and any foodstuff that requires or uses up > sulfate ions during its metabolism, will make the situation worse. > These foodstuffs include foods that supply neurotransmitters, like > bananas (serotonin), chocolate (phenylethylamine), and cheese > (tyramine), apple juice (and one mother reports her child drank a > quart a day!), citrus fruit juices, and paracetamol (Tylenol™).
