So I figured out I accidentally ate banana this morning.  Bananas are my one trigger food that I know without a doubt I cannot eat because I bloat terribly.  sad   There was bread sitting on the counter, and I wanted a mid-morning snack.  I figured it was zuccini bread, so I had a slice.  Well, dumb me, I can't really tell the difference between zuccini and banana bread, and it turned out to be banana bread.  I can't even eat it in a bread, because it always always does the bloat thing.  Does anyone else have a trigger food that they know will always do bad things to them? confused

Wow, do you have 5 minutes? LOL

I have a lot of trigger foods. The main ones are whole wheat products (muffins, bread, bagels, cereal), spicy foods, we have something called Cincinnati style chili here where I live, it has secret ingredients in it and always, always messes me up, so it's out now.

But oddly enough bananas are one of my go-to foods. Funny how we're all unique and different. What helps one person may really mess up another.

This is why I found a food journal helped me a lot. I kept one faithfully for over 2 years. Now I know what to avoid. Chocolate's another (especially semi-sweet bakers chocolate) and microbrew dark beer. Wow, that beer is better at cleaning me out than bowel preps! LOL

My mate sugested bananas and rice to help me the bananas helps the rice was just tastey. a lot of people ive talked to say to eat white bread insted of whole wheat but for me its the reverse white bread gets me bloated quickly. I cant eat any caffine, alcohol, cranberries and fizy stuff will set me off if i much of it. tryed my first beer in a year a cople of weeks ago and the day after i only left my bed to goto the toilet.
