Dumping on Over Ripe Bananas...Really???
I love bananas. I don't eat them much because they cause me serious constipation, but once in a while I do treat myself to a whole one. I buy them often because my family likes them too but occasionally we have a few that get over ripe and rather than throw them out I sliced them up and freeze them to use in smoothies or other recipes.
Well, yesterday while I prepared supper, I was getting two bananas ready to freeze and ate a few slices…maybe 4 or 5. About 15-20 minutes later I felt lightheaded and my stomach started to cramp up. I began vomiting convulsively; it consisted of nothing but foam. I don't remember being so sick in my entire life...ever! I was so cold and nothing could warm me up. This lasted all night! Today, I don’t have much of an appetite and all I had to eat was Greek yogurt and a protein shake.
Though it’s common knowledge that fruits tend to be sweeter as they ripen, I never considered the possibility that the sugar content on the fruit could actually elevate. Does anyone know if this actually happens?
Regardless, I know that I will not be eating over ripe bananas again; that was a feeling I could go a lifetime without!
