So I have eaten bananas all my life. For the past few years I have had at least one a day. All of a sudden for the past two months if I put one in a smoothie I get immediate painful stomach cramps for a few hours. Why would that be? I don't understand.

Is there dairy in the smoothies?

 

Are the bananas under ripe?

I have always had this problem with bananas! I remember being little and telling the pediatrician I was allergic to them because they always caused my stomach to cramp. Not horribly, but just uncomfortably.

 

I always just assumed there was something about bananas that my body didn't like. Maybe you are developing something similar.

The exact same thing happens to me when I eat bananas. Sometimes, I will get nausea too. It's been a recent development, it started over the past year or so. It really frustrates me because I love bananas and I used to eat the almost daily. I had to stop eating them... although I will sneak a bite here or there. If i stick to eating 1/4 of a banana at a time, I don't have the issues.
