Bananas are a truly disgusting fruit. Unfortunately I have to eat at least two of them every week to keep my potassium level up. I have had a couple of seizures where I was told that my potassium level was low and maybe that was the cause. Supposedly there are other things you can eat to get the potassium, but it seems that bananas work best and fastest for me. Blecch! If I had a choice, I would rather eat my gym shoes.

Without seeing this topic before, bananas are something I've craved ever since my seizures first started. Another craving is peanut butter and jelly, I hated eating it when I was younger. I usually keep a cut up honeydew mellon in the fridge to munch on, the riper it gets, the sweeter it is.
