Well, I have been eating during 3 months from my guava tree...
I think it is ok, but ask your body!
It is rich in pectin and in fructose.
I find that cooked pectine is ok (I cook apples and pears for this reason).
For the quantity: never take more than what you body says, or you will get disgusted even by good food!
For a change, I also feel good with bananas, I considere them as a treasure on earth! Very digestable (and I am part of the ones who have to filter orange juice, and sensitive guts...).
I dont find too much about how bad is citric acid to kidney stones, can u explain more about this?Guava is good but guava paste can have citric acid which is not good for you. It gives me diarrhea but it can also cause kidney stones and metabolic problems.
i will try add salt to bananas and see what happensI really do not see any problem with bananas. I just think to take enough salt with it, or any fruit. Pectine is fine if cooked as in a paste. They can make a paste thanks to the pectine.
I cannot get orange, but I can have orange juice. I can get cooked orange, this is about pectine too! If acid is the problem, then just put some baking soda in it! It makes a nice feezy drink. Not too much! I also use magnesium carbonate in it, which would not be safe in any other food than acid (it would mess up with digestion).
Vary with bananas or other fruits, or else one day you may hate guava...
I would also take some safe starches sometimes, with enough veggies for fiber and not get a peak of insuline. For loosing weight yes I would use veggies, like soups with bone broth or gelatine. It is a cheap meal.
I don't know where I read about citric acid and kidney stones, but it seems I was wrong about that. But Ray does say that industrially-produced citric acid (when it's an additive but not the natural citric acid in oranges) can be a serious allergen. Also, it can activate malignant cancer cells. Phosphate, activation, and aging.
I love guava paste, guava paste + a slice of cheese is my go to snack. Haven't experience any allergic reaction to it.
Max, you do not need to add salt to the banana, though I have done it, and it is even funny to put some salt into honey! you just need to not forget your salt intake when you eat sweet food. Follow your taste about how salty you want to eat, never force yourself or you will end with disgust one day.
Think that magnesium carbonate is quite alcaline, and on my box they write to take it after digestion, like nearly 2 hours after eating. So, you can make an exception for fruit juice, when they are too acid for you, but you have to figure out how to not suppress too much acid.
Also, take care that your problem with citric fruits can come from any mix with other food that your stomach does not like to digest together. Oranges are often advised to take without any other food.
If you do not handle gelatine well, try to put some bromelaine or papaine, or pineapple or papaya fruits with it! The digestive enzymes will help do the job... that is why my gelatine box says to not do any gelly with those 2 fruits nor kiwi! It just do not work because their enzyme digest the gelatine....
I noticed that all guava juices are actually just some other juice used for the base plus guava puree...
