and a rush
Posted by: dvdai ()

When I consume dates and drink water at the same time or in close vicinity to each other, I get a stomachache for about 5 minutes and then feel fine. If I eat dates and wait about 20 minutes to drink water I have no bad effects. Any ideas as to why?

And boy do I get a rush on dates. One of these things I need to play it safe with including for the stomachaches.

I can only eat dates alone. If I combine them with anything I get severe heart burn (acid reflux). If I don't follow them with something substantial such as a salad or high fiber food then I get a sugar rush followed by a crash. There is just something about dates that I have to follow food combining principles exactly if I am to eat them. Eat them alone, wait at least half and hour, then eat something substantial to balance the bloodsugar.

For that reason I avoid dates. Any recipe with a date in it is immediately modified or avoided completely.

In your case... try chewing the dates more before swallowing so it gets well coated with saliva. That should help with the stomach ache.
