Bad banana?

[malada]

I put aside a banana to eat with my bagel and cheese for dinner last night. I forgot about the banana until later that evening and ate it all by itself. It had a few bruises and was a little sweet but it tasted fine.

Until a few minutes after I ate it. My stomach *hurt*. A lot. I tried to sleep but could not.

Later that night I vomited it out. Just the banana. It took two tries about half an hour apart. Yikes. I tossed out the rest of the bananas.

So I stayed home today. I was in no shape to drive let alone work. I did work about an hour remotely with one of my spare systems but I was too sick and tired and stomach hurty to get much done. Also, the system at home was missing a few passwords so I couldn't to certain things. I'll copy the passwords tomorrow when I head back to work.

It's been quite some time since I had such a bad reaction to food. I'll be avoiding bananas for awhile.

Very rarely, I've noted that an extra sugar kick has given me the I-Need-A-Toilet-NOW reaction that too much fat does. I don't have a gall bladder either. It doesn't seem very likely, but it *might* be the cause of your emergency banana evacuation, and your body thought upwards was better than downwards.

Also, I can't recall if you can eat shellfish. If you can, you can try finding a product that contains Chitosan (made of shellfish carapace) as this absorbs fat and is disposed of safely without the need for emergency evacuations. I don't use it often, but dammit all I like bacon. :)
