[colinmac]

ate one banana on friday everthing went well no prob, :woohoo: had two on saturday big mistake 2 make a long story short no more bananas for colin :mad:

Did you eat them both times with food? Were they the same amount of ripeness? Sometimes that can affect our reactions to foods.

Since you were ok Friday, maybe 1/2 banana next time as part of a meal? And not 2 days in a row? You could test again on a Friday, with no repeats over that weekend to see...

Just a thought.... But of course, if the flare was really awful, maybe not.

I can have a banana occasionally, but not more than one in a day or two days in a row.

Sorry to hear that colin :( At least you found a trigger source. I hope you feel better soon!:pray:

I ate them both on their own between meals...Any suggestions on what to eat if you get an attack of the munchies between meals?? :confused: With such a limited diet I find that this is the hardest time for me.

If you're looking for healthy snacks between meals:

Pears
Celery sticks (can add a tiny bit of cream cheese to make it more interesting)
Baby carrots, string cheese, triscuits (I can get away with a small amount of Marie's lite creamy ranch dressing).
Almonds & raisins (if you can tolerate them)
Dates

I find that some foods that I can "get away with" in small amounts if part of a meal, I cannot eat on their own. (I guess I'm diluting whatever is bothering my IC). And yes, this diet is very limited. (But hey, if it keeps me feeling more ok I guess it's worth it.)

Thanks for that:smile tee
