Maca Root Powder

Date: November 15, 2006 05:36PM So I have been putting 1 tsp of maca root powder into my breakfast smoothies, and it is giving me some terribly nasty gas! Anyone else experience this with maca root? And I know it's the maca root, because on the days that I don't use it, I am fine. Is this normal? Because I think I might kill my husband soon with my gassiness! It's toxic! Re: Maca Root Powder

Date: November 17, 2006 06:56PM Hi Yogamama,
I think it probably is the maca in your case. My understanding is that maca is made from a starch veg and I guess (if you look at the food combining charts) starch and fruit ... Hhmm ... it isn't combining well in your own individual digestive system. I don't think it combines that well for me either when I add it to nut and seed milks (for the same reason ... nuts and seeds apparently don't combine well for some people when mixed with starches). A friend of mine can combine just about anything together (and I mean anything) and is always "fine", but I do not seem to be able to. I think it is pretty much how strong and healthy our digestive systems are ... some people have no problems with food combining. So listen to your body (as you are) and it seems to be saying "no thank you". John Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
