[Vickie]

You better drink alot of water, Sandra. Too many bananas can be um....um.....constipating! I can only eat one a day but I have a very slow system. I know, TMI!

[ontarget]

vickie, i'll start chugging. i tend to clog my pipes, too.

[septembersgoal]

Wow, I'm impressed with your exercise, Goldenberry!

Oh, and....ewwwwww about the bananas. I didn't know that!

[Vickie]

Melissa, at the risk of making you go eewwwww again.....it's the old BRAT diet when one has diarrhea my Mom always prescribed bananas, rice, applesauce and toast.

[Katpo]

Yep. My Mom did it too ... but it was bananas, rice, applesauce and tea! Must be the Texas version!

[Vickie]

Maybe we made up the toast part since we like it so much!

[septembersgoal]

Hmmm....interesting since w/ Core I eat a lot of rice, applesauce, and bananas....
