Hello Lynne, I have a similar problem. it seems that banana trigger mild digestive distress. depending upon which fruits i eat them with,the effects can vary. It's funny that i just saw your post because i came onto the forum today to ask the same question:) To anyone who are more experienced rawbies, are there specific fruits that are not recommended to be consumed with bananas? Are there better times in the banana's life cycle to eat them (green vs. spotted, etc). Gosh, I'm saddened by the idea of having to give up bananas..i've given up so many of my favorite foods as it is, due to allergies:( Good luck to you with seeking answers to your dilema and thanks to any one who can shed some insight about this.

IT says bananas don't combine well with strawberries, pineapples or kiwi either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This combo may give you a lot less wind in you sails, lol! Or try just a banana whip: banana and water.... for folks with weak/weaker digestive systems, it's more important to pay attention to food-combining. (trust me, I KNOW! lol! whenever I deviate, my body reminds me!) others can, seemingly, " get away " with some poorer combinations...at least in the short term... have fun.. food combining might make for an interesting " knowledge " topic in the future. I've found it fascinating, both in theory, and how it works for me. If you try the change, please let us know how it works...give it a day or two at least, enough time to get most of the old stuff out... all the best, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 are strawberries in the more acid fruit family?? can't remember.. I always have bananas and strawberries with no problem... but E got me thinking about my system and if it is cleaned out enough... that it would let me know if I ate something wrong... How does one know when the plaque is generally all cleaned out?? is there a way to test the system for this?? I know cleansing, fasting etc helps but what if you have caked up plaque? If we are not supposed to use herbs or concoctions to help loosen it.. how do we know the fruits and veggies are doing their Complete job...???????
