When I got home from work today, I went on a cleaning/cooking spurt! I had kale, medjool dates, cauliflower and salsa materials that I needed to use up.
So I've learned that my body HATES raisins and dates. My body flat out rejects these items despite however small the quantities I eat are. Stabbing pains in my stomach, almost so awful that the other night it woke me up and I felt like a trip to the hospital was in order! After doing a lot of research, it is common that some folks have this issue. Raisins and dates are high in fiber and since the stomach can't break it all down, it passes into the gut as this bloated mass of gas. In talking with a friend, she said she had the same happen to her when she had black beans. Sure enough, beans were on the list...but so were many other things.....even milk products. The manfriend wondered why I didn't exhibited these symptoms before....and that's because I only ate raisins once a year (maybe) and medjool dates - NEVER.
So I'll try some supplements to help break down the fiber in foods but basically, I just need to stay FAR AWAY from anything that resembles a raisin. Watch out people.....raisins will stab you in the gut!
