Have you tried a chia smoothie? You can leave out the bananas for lower glycemic. I'd try berries instead.Adding wheatgerm oil can add vitamin e to the digestive tract to help it heal. I'd go with basil in the smoothie instead of any harsher greens to see if it is gentler on digestion.

I went sans smoothie this morning and I'm not having any problems so far. Yesterday it was really bad... I had a dandelion, banana, and strawberry smoothie. I usually don't have a problem with bananas, and my blood sugar usually runs low (which is funny because diabetes runs on my dads side of the family). I'll have to look into the wheatgerm oil (look into= see how much it cost). I never thought about putting basil in the smoothie... hmmm... have you tried it? Does it taste good?

Yes I love basil and strawberries together! A little spinach is good too. Chia get 9-12 times bigger when added to liquid. Sonly get a little like a TBs or 2 per smoothie.

Before I went raw I had similar problems. I mostly ate celery and cucumber green drinks with no fiber plus ginger. And that really helped..

Hey Crystal,

I used to have IBS and chronic fatigue. I used to get bloating when eating green smoothies too, so I can feel your pain.
If you are at all interested please message me and I can tell you what helped heal me.

All the best to you on your health journey :)
