Pain After Eating Bananas

[tortoise]

We love bringing up old threads! I don't really have anyhing to add to this one! That's not usual for me!

Not exactly the same, but still about bananas: since the last time I looked at this thread, I've learned that bananas are a high FODMAP food and can cause bloating, GI pain, constipation or diarrhea. They've become no-go for me even though its not due to allergenic symptoms.

Not at all. I've been sleeping on a pure 100% latex mattress for 23 years.
I just hate bananas. Nasty stinky mushy icky gross bananas!

Of all the brave and crazy things in life that @baymule can deal with that leaves me shuddering at the very thought, but a banana scares her?

Now I have the perfect weapon to defend myself from her
Stick em up baymule

It can be a sensitivity....I get weird symptoms with certain foods.

What about if you make a smoothie with those ripe bananas? Or banana bread?

Why in the world do you eat way too ripe bananas???

Smoothies don't cause the same issues. And they're not way too ripe! They're mostly yellow with only some brown spotting on the peel! The one I just ate only had 1 bruise on the actual banana!

I have a love/hate relationship with the evil things. Sometimes they look so good, but most times I have to choke them down. I feel like I should eat them because they're good for me. But I love banana pudding.

I would advise listening to your body. If you do not like them, and are aware that you will need to choke it down, just to not "waste" it, don't.
That pain is telling you something important.

I am careful with kids this way too. If they are not doing it to cause a scene or be naughty, and a certain food is revolting to them, then there is a good chance that a sensitivity is happening.

Ahh, the voice of reason! I will stop eating them then. It's so stupid, I know..I just feel like I needed to.

Try telling that to my mother who made me sit with scalloped potatoes in front of me for 4 hours!
