You should go for medical check up. It's also possible that your body might be reacting different to garri. You should definitely avoid garri if it's not good for you but that doesn't make it harmful for others. You can try other swallow for soup like wheat, Amala, there are other varieties as well, try them and you might find the one that you like and ok for you without any health complications.

OP, replace garri with tuwon chinkafa i.e ground rice meal, Elkris oat meal, wheat and may be Semovita and pounded Yam... These are other swallows apart from Garri and Akpu/ fufu...

Op you can train your body to reverse back the effects of that garri in your body

Just avoid anything carb ( High or low)

Practice Authophagy (24hr Fasting with water) every week and you will not notice any of this effects again.

please don't use your allergies to disturb and insult our precious food

I think it's good we learn from people's experiences and be cautious, I spent 6years in a boarding school drinking Garri without complaint, almost on a daily in addition to my meal ration. I didn't notice it's subtle effect.

I do have symptoms in my eyes when i drink garri and when i eat it as swallow....my mum's symptoms are always worse. Ive read that it has a lot of Cyanic acid which may be harmful

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.

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?

Replace garri with pounded yam or Nri Awkaá (maize fufu)

anything cassava = diabetes. oh.... FTC. I dedicate this to all the victims of this useless government, better days are coming.

That's allergy to some other things in garri not necessarily sugar
Enjoy your soups with corn pudding or easier one like corn flour

This is called food allergy.

You may have problems digesting the complex sugars in garri. It's a perfectly normal food that has been consumed for ages.

first off, cassava contains trace amounts of cyanide

ikllbrokehoes:
Your dad right?

Nope. My SO

ridwan006:
Garri is a sign of poverty. It's common in the south

and isn't common in the north mad poor illiterate terrorist

My mom wouldn't let us eat garri anyhow. Sometimes she would hide it too, or not buy it. I think that was a good decision. I can look at other things most of the time without wanting garri. She also did that with sweets, minerals and chocolate.... Though I have gone back to chocolate/sweets on my own...

Maybe the garri rationing was because at least two of us have eye problems. But I don't usually notice side effects from eating garri.

HRHQueenPhil:


Lies from the pit of hell
Rice and yam is equal to white sugar and is d poison not garri
As u know, moderation is important in all things ...u can consult me for a food timetable that will help u enjoy balanced diet..if u don't have money for timetable simply eat eba once a week, rice once a week, and soups like egusi&ogbono plus Banga soup once a month

Unlike you bro, I experience these things when I eat rice. But you can still eat semolina shaa...it is made from rice. I believe it will serve you. Goodluck.

Hmmmm. what's SO did you have a boyfriend when you were 15? oya tell me now.

BlackLaw:


Op's point is not that he has food allergies. He claims that the cyanide in cassava is what makes him react to it and so therefore garri, akpu etc are poisonous.

How did this man type out of point by saying his mind?

Which research did he do before coming out with this conclusion

ikllbrokehoes:
Hmmmm. what's SO did you have a boyfriend when you were 15? oya tell me now.

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

It is an allergic reaction. It simply means that your body reacts and reject everything cassava and it derivatives. Just the way people have allergies to ground nut, Crayfish, nuts, milk, etc. So keep clear off it. Look for good alternative like Amala ( yam flour) wheat, guinea corn flour, potato flour, millet flour e.t.c

It is not cyanide in garri becos it have been fermented out and cooked out to acceptable quantity that the body can utilize else 90% of Nigerian would have been dead

And part cassava flour, he shud keep clear. Instead he shud go for semovita. It's made from potatoes flour as a major ingredient

Cassava has a poisonous substance most times, but most people have a fairly good tolerance of that poison and so the makers of Cassava ffloods are normally okay with reducing the poisonous substance level. I suspect you have a body that's sensitive to that substance. Go online and research the poison associated with cassava as well as it reactions.

I feel your thoughts, it's so normal for people to become allergic to some certain food, like I noticed orange is not to good for me as it makes my bladder become irritated, making me to visit the restroom urinating with so much pains and pressure, since I stopped it, I have had relief, so I get my vitamin c from cucumbers, other fruits instead and green leaves... Etc...I am lactose intolerant as it makes me visit the toilet to shit more than once a day. So I get to know that i have to eat according to my blood group, so I suggest you eat according to your blood group, that is food meant for your blood group and avoid the wahala that comes with eating wrong.

Avoid the garri that poisons you as you said, instead you could try corn flower in place of garri, you can try cuscus, it's like a starch porraige when made with hot water, it's sold in the super market in satchat form, or measured form I think, you could make it in garri form and eat with your soup, you could also try plantain flower, that is dried unripped plaintain grounded in powder form and made like amala, either black or white and eat with your soup, you can also try wheat or oat as someone suggested for you, you can try yam flower, that is sold in the market, dried yam and grounded into powder form, you eat like ponded yam. But majorly you need to eat more of fruits and vegetables to help you boast your body system.


Blessed!!!
