Re: bananas causing aggression

[Guest guest]

My son has been very aggressive lately, raging and hitting

siblings violently. Remembering that he didn’t tolerate bananas well when

he was little, and seeing that he had at least one daily recently, I stopped

him having any more. He was back to himself after a few hours. Does this make

sense? What could be in bananas?

Hi,

Bananas are high in dopamine.

He could have an allergy to bananas (my daughter has it) and this is how his body could react.Helen To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent: Sunday, 15 April 2012, 13:20 Subject: FW: Re: bananas causing aggression

,

Having recently spent 2 days out of commission with a migraine triggered by

eating a few sprigs of coriander (aka cilantro) which I used to eat with

impunity and in high quantities (I grew up in Texas eating pico de gallo from a

young age which is mostly coriander) but now triggers fiere migraines - and

there is absolutely no other foods that trigger migraines for me - I think that

it is important to remember that for whatever reason that may remain forever a

mystery sometimes we can wax and wane in our tolerance of foods and sometimes

for whatever reason those reactions can be quite significant.

This migraine was a big reminder to me to track behaviours and diet in my son.

When I had the migraine believe me, if I was a kid, it would have sent me into

an aggressive stabby angry mood but thankfully since I'm an adult I could

moderate my behaviour, er mostly, cough cough...

Best wishes,

Darla

If you have an allergy to banana, you usually have trouble with kiwi and avocado

too. Amines in bananas (the riper the banana the more amines) can be a problem

for people too.

Your son could have a food sensitivity to bananas and simply not tolerate them.

Also, if bananas are not ripe enough they contain carbohydrates that are hard to

digest for some. Also, my son's yeast issues flared up with eating bananas

which caused behavioral issues. I ended up removing them from his diet.
