Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Bananas cannot be frozen, really even chilled they will turn black.. Now I saw on tv this lady advertising her 'green bags'and that bananas and other fruits and veggies will keep longer stored in them. I have seen them in super markets and just recently on tv... If my bananas start getting ripe quicker than I had hoped I usually make some sort of muffin or something. Then I can still make use of it for fiber and still rather helps with diarrhea in that it provides some bulk. Cheers JOlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Completely forgot about coating the banana with something. Dairy Queen used to coat theirs with stuff, I remember a chocolate covered banana.. Course if you are taking the bananas for part of BRAT diet to alleviate diarrhea no doubt you will not what to cover them with cereal... Hmmm well it would add fiber and then helps solidify the stool. Might work... Been so long since I have chilled banana that I could not remember if the whole thing turned color or not. I am just very leery of overripe bananas. I recall someone getting food poisoning from eating overripe bananas one time, thought I think it was bananas in a cream pie... So that could have been the milk in the pudding/filling part as well. Well about done cleaning my room and Kris is ready for bed so I will just stop and finish it tomorrow morning. I am tired anyway. Take care all hope tomorrow is a great day for you..... Hugs Jolene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Emma, Do you see the bad behavior the next day after eating the bananas or the same day? Also, are your bananas cooked or raw? One day out of 4 (we're rotating foods) is a cranky one for my daughter, and I haven't been able to put my finger on what it is that's causing it. She always wakes up cranky the day after she has broccoli & beef for dinner and banana for afternoon snack. But I don't notice a same-day behavioral reaction to the banana - even 2 or 3 hours later. Do you?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 We just started our first round of TD DMSA and thought our son was reacting to yeast already...but we have also recently introduced bananas more regularly. I haven't noticed the black pieces..but we are having looser bowels and more behavior problems. I associated them as yeasty behaviors. I will have to remove them and see if I notice a difference. Mom to almost 3 and SCD 4 1/2 months bananas hi has anyone noticed black bits in their childrens bms after eating bananas - may be the following day? we have and it also seems to accompany worsening bms and behaviour thanks emma --------------------------------- To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 nope its the day after i see any problems, fian especially is really grizzly, miserable, and begs me for more bananas - he would eat them all day if i let him - which is never a good sign ive suspected them being an issue a few times but because i restarted the diet, i was finally able to pinpoint what seems to be one of our biggest culprits initially when i first started scd, i assumed the black bits were normal, and that they were having trouble with the amines in the bananas but i had a very recent conversation with the author of a juicing book - mainly about candida and scd and he actually told me to watch bananas as there were few originals and most were mainly hybrid and were causing a number of difficulties and issues for a lot of people and they were no longer something that he would reccommend for people that were trying to clear up digestive disorders i had actually forgotten this conversation until now - i think i must have made the assumption that that was 'commercail' and not organic but i now believe that what he says goes across the board i cant see a food that was originally considered a good starter food causing so many problems unless something fundamental had changed see if its possible to substitute with something else - i was using it in yogurt as its the only way i can get the yogurt down the boys without a fight - im currently trying raspberry juice - all black bits have gone with that and fians mood and stools have returned to almost normal (for him anyway) hth emma > > hi > > > > has anyone noticed black bits in their childrens bms after eating > bananas - may be the following day? we have and it also seems to > accompany worsening bms and behaviour > > > > thanks > > > > emma > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all > new Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 That's really helpful. Thanks, Emma. Hard to believe that the bananas could cause a next-day reaction like that, when they're supposedly out of your stomach in 1/2 hour... Of course, today is the banana snack day, and she's currently at preschool, just having eaten the 1/2 banana that I sent with her (along with some yogurt and a lamb chop, if you can believe it). I'm 100% sure she'll have eaten it though... she loves them. Ack! Another bad morning in store... Is there a particular timeframe you see for the behaviors? With us, it sometimes wears off by lunchtime the next day, but can carry through the day.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 havent sussed an exact time frame as yet, but he gets extremely horrid about 2 hours before he passes a stool and that is at usually 3 - 4 pm, and then we have a complete meltdown just before and then once its over he calms down - but this behaviour is only consistent with bananas i havent seen it as yet with other fruit - but then im staying away from 'high' sugar fruits - just in case sheila suggested trying to slow its progress with protein and initially i thought it had helped but of course the reaction didnt present itself for 2 days - they hadnt had any for a while - so thats quite interesting in that it took 2 days for the reactions to start taking place and since that they happen within 24 hours if i withold bananas for a few weeks it will again take the 48 hours to kickstart a 'reactive' phase, that then becomes 24 consistent, this has definately happened the last 2 occasions that i have tried to introduce them i wonder whats causing that? is it feeding a particular type of bacteria? hence the black bits increase? i dont know where i could go to ascertain that kind of information? kindest regards emma mama2gandj no_reply > wrote: That's really helpful.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Have you checked if you child is allergic to sugar (including fruit sugars?). My son was flapping about a lot and I could never understand why the diet was such a problem - especially bananas (he and his sister ate a lot of bananas and baked apple). Since being treated for fruit sugar allergy he has settled down. If you are within range of an NAET centre of AAE (advanced allergy elimination clinic) these could be of assistance apart from the orthodox routes.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Why is cooked fruit easier to digest than raw fruit? I would think that the raw fruit would have enzymes in it, and would be healthier?

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi Emma, > something to do with the cellulose layer that surround fruit - the gut finds it very difficult to break down enzymes or no, hence if its cooked, the cellulose layer is softened Yes, the body can get the nutrients out of the cell easier if it is cooked rather then raw - can " milk " out more of the good stuff. And if the gut is damaged and the body is unable to utilize the fiber in the fruit then it will go farther down in the gut and fed the nasties. > but i must say one thing does confuse me > > im sure it says on one of the stages to give raw food peeled - so there i agree with you, surely the enzymes in the skin would make it easier for the raw food to be digested? Well, once the gut is healed sufficiently it should be able to digest the raw peeled and eventually raw, unpeeled fruit and veggies. But not at the beginning of the diet while healing still needs to take place. Sheila, SCD 56 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 41 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 , would appreciate additional information about your comment - " Since being treated for fruit sugar allergy he has settled down.

Well, a banana isn't going to cure you of all your ills, but they do provide lots of great nutrients that help keep us healthy. This sounds like something Chiquita or Dole would put out as part of an advertising campaign. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 When you go to P2, you add back 1 starch and 1 fruit. For the starch, a lot of folks like to do their morning oatmeal (Old Fashioned/Pin Oats/Steel Cut Oats -- none of that instant stuff!) and for the fruit, most folks pick their favorite fruit. On P2, the updated version of the diet allows 1 medium banana. IIRC, the book in its original format did not allow for bananas, even on P2 (don't have mine handy and it's been a while since I read it). But, yes, 1 medium banana is permitted. The best way to know what you can or cannot have is to consult the foods to enjoy list. The most up to date version of this list can be found on the SBDGIR website (link at the bottom of every message) in the files area. In there you will find.... FRUIT (Start with one daily serving, gradually increase to 3 total servings daily) Apples - 1 small or 5 dried rings Apricots - 4 fresh or 7 dried Banana, medium-sized (4 oz.) <---***** Berries, all - 3/4 cup Cactus Pear Fruit (Prickly Pear) Cantaloupe - 1/4, or 1 cup diced Cherries - 12 Grapefruit - 1/2 Grapes - 15 Kiwi - 1 Mangoes - 1/2 medium (4 oz.) Oranges - 1 medium Papaya - 1 small (4 oz.) Peaches - 1 medium Pears - 1 medium Plantain Plums - 2 Prunes - 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Coming from raising children and working with seniors I have found the following - Bananas are usually used to help curb loose stools instead of going the other way. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. On the matter of heart burn many people as they age can not tolerate bananas when I worked with seniors very few were able to eat bananas without having heartburn. I am sure as suggested this is put out by a banana producer. .. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Jimi Bananas Someone sent this to me today can you all give me your insight on it I am one that always tends to believe what I read so I dont know if this is true or not. Sara After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again! Bananas Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills -- eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke. Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert. Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives. Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system. Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief. Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness. Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation. Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady. Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach. Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a " cooling " fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan. Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal. Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high- potassium banana snack. Strokes: According to research in " The New England Journal of Medicine, " eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%! So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, " A banana a day keeps the doctor away!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 In the SBD Good Fats Good Carbs Guide, page 87, bananas are to be avoided in Phase 1 but are GOOD in Phases 2 and 3. In the SBD Cookbook (orange), page 19, it states to avoid the banana in Phase 2, also avoid pineapple, raisins, and watermelon!

The " no banana " rule was changed a long time ago to allow for 1 medium banana during P2 (6/10/2004). I don't think the others have been changed though. June 10, 2004: Bananas on The South Beach DietT Good news! You can now eat a medium-sized banana as part of Phase 2 of The South Beach DietT. Why the change? In reviewing the 2002 International Table of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load, a 4-ounce medium (120 gram) banana has a low glycemic index and an intermediate glycemic load - making it an acceptable fruit for Phase 2 . Here's what this all means: Although the glycemic index (GI) of a food is helpful information in choosing which foods to eat, it is only one part of the picture. The effect a food has on blood sugar levels depends on both the amount of carbohydrate as well as the glycemic index of that carbohydrate, which together is known as the glycemic load (GL). For this reason the latest international table of the GI ranks foods based on both the GI as well as the GL. The GL better reflects a food's effect on your body's biochemistry than either the amount of carbohydrate or the GI alone. Many foods can be misrepresented by just looking at their GI. Other nutrients in a food must also be considered. Good carbohydrates are nutrient-dense, slowly digested (usually due to a higher fiber content), and have a low to intermediate GI and GL. Whole fruits offer fiber, vitamins, minerals, and plenty of phytochemicals. Since bananas vary in size, they had previously been listed as " avoid " or " eat rarely " on The South Beach DietT. However, with the more complete picture offered to us with the combination of GI and GL, as well as the nutritional contribution of the banana - a fruit packed with fiber, vitamin C and B6, and potassium - we are pleased to offer a medium banana as a fruit choice beginning in Phase 2. As always, continue to monitor your response to the fruits as you reintroduce them. In reviewing and investigating the GI and GL (and the constant evolution of information), we strive to update you and provide you with the tools and information to help you make appropriate food choices. http://www.southbeachdiet.com/public/diet-updates/diet-updates.asp?id=003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Bananas, although tasty, seem to always give me heartburn. I don't think it has anything to do with age, as I'm only 30. Also, although they are allowed starting in Phase 2, I try to avoid them because they're so easy to eat, I eat them really fast and find they don't satisfy me as well as, say, a nice green apple, which takes a good few minutes to eat and chew. > > Coming from raising children and working with seniors I have found the following - Bananas are usually used to help curb loose stools instead of going the other way. > > Constipation: > High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal > bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to > laxatives. > > On the matter of heart burn many people as they age can not tolerate bananas when I worked with seniors very few were able to eat bananas without having heartburn.
