Fruit sugar causes cramps?

Date: February 22, 2015 09:27PM Not sure if anyone may have an answer to this.
During my monthly cycle, having sweeter fruits like banana or a smoothie directly causes very painful cramps, even if I include greens in the smoothie. Having a salad with dark leafy greens prevents the cramps and non sweet fruit like tomato or avacado cause no pain. Complex carbs like corn or sweet potato also cause no pain. After having sweet fruit, the reaction is pretty immediate within minutes. So my question is, why? When almost all information I see says low fat and more fruits and veg prevent cramps. If anyone has any suggestions on what I could try eating during that time, thatd be great! I need some high calorie sources. I'd love some raw recipes using corn and sweet potato or yams. Thanks!

There are some really nice corn salads you could make adding one or more of cilantro, italian parsley, mint, dill, basil tomato green, red, yellow, orange bell pepper zucchini or yellow summer squash red onion garlic walnuts cucumber avocado radish lemon or lime celery cucumber arugula jalapeno and this nice one for sweet potato i found on yummly spiralized sweet potato and beet green onion pumpkin seed garlic lime vinagrette I think you'd have to massage the vinegar in or let it sit there for a while to partially break down the fibers. You could also try jicama jicama cucumber lime red pepper chili powder carrot red onion Re: Fruit sugar causes cramps?

The sweet potato salad sounds interesting! Do you happen to have a recipe for the vinaigrette? I drink 1 liter of water with lemon juice before eating anything. I hadn't exercised. My sister also eats a high fruit diet and has no such issues. I have no negative symptoms from fruit the rest of the month. I had read somewhere that vitamin A helps with cramps which is why I tend to load on the kale for those few days. Even with the kale though, I can't eat the fruit. It is interesting because I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. My sister thinks its weird. arugula Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Is this something that runs in the family? You > might have an intolerance.

Date: February 23, 2015 07:03AM It makes your muscles burn? How interesting..
Where do you get the muscle burn? I do not get a burning feeling. Normally bananas make me feel vibrant and happy. The pain I get is more like muscle spasming. And it is a very distinct, sharp pain that is on going. The worst time, it went on for 2-3 hours straight. I'd never experienced such pain before. I've never had a plantain but always wanted to try. Can you eat them raw?

Do you happen to have a list with fruits I should avoid/eat? I would like to at least try this and see if I notice any kind of difference.

Date: February 25, 2015 05:38AM I'd try eating more organic or at least less sprayed produce. I have had back pain when eating nonorganic fruit. Re: Fruit sugar causes cramps?

I am currently experimenting with the sugar content of fruit and seeing how it affects me. I ate half a watermelon for breakfast this morning and no negative side effects or pain. I actually feel really good! I am thinking that its the fruits high in sugar concentration that are my problem.
