Try healthier options such as oatmeal swallow, unripe plantain swallow, fonio swallow, sweet potato swallow, etc. If your body react to these options, then you may have to consider enjoying your soups without swallow, which is not a big deal.

I know a guy who don't eat anything sea food
Even if u use crayfish cook for him,he will sick for days , fish is d worst ...
Your problem is from your body , avoid that food that disturbs you

GOD I Thank you for giving us the body which cannot reject our food/anything in short

Amen oh
Just like my body

You might be allergic to something in the garri. Definitely your body system. See those suggestions of wheat, disregard them. That one is worse. Just search for the side effects of gluten. Don't know why many eat it.

That's why we have semovita

Go straight to it and stop discouraging others from what I grow up to see

Lostchild:
Many times I keep telling people that, eating Garri does more harm to us than good but nearly everyone that hear me say this, get furious with me.

Have you tried it with other swallow(pounded yam, semi, tamba etc).

You need to rule out that the trigger to your bad experience is actually garri and not the soup.

Lostchild:


My body cannot stand the cyanide inside the Cassava root (garri)

I love our soup but I am looking for what to used to replace garri

I don't like pounded yam.
Tuwo is impossible for me
Akpu is the evil brother of garri
Starch is impposicant

Which one is semo-lina?

Have you tried amala? how is the taste look like ?

Try Amala made with unripe and sundried plantain

If all this na true many for don die.....another trash

Ishilove:

You too like amebo. Go and follow Gistlover on IG if you want gist

Lol you are changing subject now, what you are doing is not good oh, don't worry my own time will come and I will do the same thing, first to do no dey pain.

Nothing do rice my guy. Just make sure it's in small quantity and balance it with a lot of proteins and veggies.

Asian eat rice day in, day out, yet they are healthy and have the highest life expectancy.

Garri is not poisonous abeg. You only have garri-intolerance, same way some people have lactose intolerance.
The production process of cassava roots into garri, such as washing, fermentation, pressing, and roasting eliminates hydrogen cyanide.
Yellow garri that has palm oil is very good since red oil is a good source of vitamin A, and can even serve as antidote.

Then replace garri with plantain flour,wheat flour ,cocoyam flour,millet flour or guinea corn flour....choose any

Lostchild:


You are very correct.

I love our soup but I can no longer eat garri. I don't want more problems.

Sonnobax15:

Pure rubbish..

The only thing that's poisonous to my body is when I'm deprived of garri......I can't just imagine myself not eating garri for a day

How person wor tay get sense na when he no dey swallow eba?

Interesting. It's possible you are allergic to garri just like most of us are allergic to one thing or the other. It doesn't mean that you should extend what happened to you to the general populace.

Just avoid garri and you will be fine

Eat Semolina or wheat with soup. Thank me later.

Anytime i eat Garri i begin to have serious waist pain..... so a have to stop eating it for the past two years now.....replace it with akidi.

Krismas:
Chai! How I wish u can pass me some of that hot Eba and egusi soup. Forget this lostchild guy.

See person wey sabi better thing. But the soup don finish

Lostchild:


Can I use the wheat to eat soup like garri?

I am not saying that garri wants to kill me. I am only saying my body cannot stand the deadly cyanide. If I don't stop, it will destroy me.

It is poisonous to my body

some humans are allergic to certain foods, animals or elements, it's no big deal......the way you are hammering on " deadly cyanide" is quite hilarious, are you consuming the raw leaves and roots? Because the traditional processes involved in garri production removes the toxic cyanide. The way you painted the whole story on the front page, is as though garri generally is toxic to the human body, whereas it's a case of a simple allergy you'll do well to avoid.

God bless you...i thought I am the only one with this issue....any time I eat garri(eba), na stomach pain throughout that day..i stopped eating that thing for like 5years...i told my wife about my ordeal with garri she thought I was making things up...i allowed her to make it for me ...my brother, i couldn't sleep that day... stomach al through the night..you are right bro

Since child-hood I have had nothing but trouble eating this yellow stuff (Garri).
I normally eat rice from january to december, when I feel the urge to eat soup and garri, just eating it twice gives me health issues.

In 2018, I became worried and I went to see some (medic) practionals and told them about the effect of garri on me, to them I was talking nonsense because they themselves cannot do without eating garri.

I was in a place full of working men when I told them that Garri is poisonous to our body, these guys almost eat me raw. I had a fierce argument with them 1 me vs 7 men because I was trying to let them know that cassava root is very poisonous and harmful to our body.

The garri was constantly making me to have
・Migraine (headache)
・Sour mouth; lips and tongue
・Stomach pain
・Fast heartbeat
・Itchness / scatching
・Body weakness, it makes me very weak. I must constantly lay down.
・Dizzyness, I will not be able to stand for long

The heavy sugar in garri started giving me diabetic symptoms.

・Weight loss (Fatigue)
・Blurr Vision
・Peeing / Urinating every 30 mins.
・Eye Pains / burning; I will not be able to look at the sun or be inside the sun because of eye pain/burning.

The first time I eat akpu in 2002, I nearly died. Akpu is extremely worse

Is anyone experience this?

I love our soup but the garri is poisonous to my body, what can one use to replace garri?

From your Nairaland Handle, I think we need to find you before offering you help.

justscorchone:
It's a simple case of allergy,just because everyone eats it and are fine doesn't mean you can, there are people allergic to a particular type of water but can drink alkaline water. So it's fine if your body can't handle garri. Doesn't mean garri as a whole is bad, ofcourse everything in moderation.

You're right I remember when I was younger if I drank garri my lips would swell,sometimes my eyes will close like I got punched in the face but as a stubborn child back then I couldn't resist the ojebu garri with cold water and groundnut so I kept on taking it even though it made my face swell until my body got used to it then the swelling stopped.o used to have same issue with beans too,if I eat beans o dare not go out for that day cuz na toilet I go dey all day but I kept on eating it,now it's one of my best food sef. I guess our body system are different.

If not properly fermented, garri can be dangerous due to the cyanide content in the root tuber. Perhaps you should try garri ijebu which is well fermented and if you need to get that yellow color, add palm oil in the boiling water used for making the eba.

Also, eat in moderation to avoid diabetic symptoms. You can use other swallow like oats, cabbage swallow, green plantain swallow and others.

Our bodies are made differently and it's capabilities are different. Any ulcer patient are cannot consume a lot of food made from garri especially garri. Personally when I take I must add a lot of milk to it to prevent heart and chestburn. I don't take it more than once a month. Eba, akpu are no go area for me. Noodles and pasta are consumed easily. Fufu is eaten once in a while.



As long as you know the dos and don't of your body you'll live fine.

BTW there no one that doesn't have a food he/she reacts to.

You could try wheat. It is light and tastes good

I'm sorry you have to suffer this, I guess it's how your system is. Your body cells can not maintain homeostasis with the level of sugar gotten from garri. It's a sad one I think, given that garri is a must be food in every Nigerian home.
Personally, swallow is my favorite, reading this just breaks my heart.
Use plantain flour to replace garri.

I don't know Ijebu garri

As long it is garri, it is poisonous to my body. The white garri that has bitter taste is even worse
