Mmm, cherries. Like cucumbers dipped in ranch, this is a finger food I end up getting way carried away with if I’m not very conscious of how much I eat. And I just picked up three pounds from the farmer’s market today (along with lettuce and homemade rocky road, mmmm).
Unfortunately, overdoing it on cherries (and I have no real conception of where that line is, sadly) gets me, well, constipated. Any recommendations or tricks to deal with that? Because I loves me my cherries!
Local cherries have just come to the markets, along with Oregon strawberries. It’s a short season, sadly. On the plus side, pears, peaches and nectarines are on the way.
Have some greens, coffee can get things moving if it’s a mild issue, half a magnesium tablet. I think I’ve purchased 6 pounds of cherries in the last 2 weeks. I haven’t had this problem. I also over indulge in the fresh caught wild salmon that are running this time of year.
Oddly enough, overindulgence in cherries has a diametrically opposite effect on me. And the only cure I know of is to eat them with a large wedge of sharp cheddar to sort of, ummm… balance things out.
OK, TMI. And a total non-answer to the OP’s question…
Yes, I do. Perhaps I’m doing the correlation/causation thing, but that’s what seemed to happen to me. Cutting back on the amount I ate each day seemed to return things to balance, as it were.
If it is really something else, and I really am confusing correlation with causation, I’d be very relieved, actually!
