Must we? Really?

I didn't have time for my usual "breakfast" (with soy milk! Hooray for protein!) and grabbed a banana instead. Now, you'd think that a banana would be a good idea because it's mild (part of the B.R.A.T. diet) and easy to chew and thus won't trigger my gag reflex or any related nausea.

Not so.

NOT so.

As soon as that thing hit my stomach, I experienced a quite unpleasant wave of nausea. It's still waving, 10 minutes later. I am not pleased. I can handle just about anything, but nausea is my Kryptonite. All I want to do right now is go home and go back to bed until it's over. I hate this. Please bless that I don't actually hwarf on anything.

I'm so buzzed on caffeine pills I'm about to barf any second.

Um... what is the BRAT diet and why are you nauseated?

The BRAT diet is Bananas, Rice, Apples/applesauce, and Toast. It's used to recover from stomach bugs--you just eat really mild things for a day or so, and then gradually add other foods as you can tolerate them.

I have no idea why the banana made me ill. I'm wary of them now.
