Yes, if you can connect the banana with the increased gas

then I’d stop trying to eat a banana for a few months. I found it

best to eliminate any food that caused noticeable symptoms within 2 to 3 hours

of eating for at least a month before I’d try it again, using a different

method of preparing it or eating it at a different time of day. If my

digestion or immune system still reacted, then I’d not try again for

several more months – or if the reaction became more severe, didn’t

try it for a year or more.

I’ve never been able to eat a banana since my

digestive disorders developed. Doesn’t matter whether it is cooked

or eaten raw or used mashed in muffins.

I found applesauce and diluted fruit juices are the best

fruits for my digestion. You will probably need to experiment a bit to

find another fruit that works better for you.

Hopefully you can try a banana again in a few months and

find your digestion will tolerate it. But if not, don’t

despair. There are plenty of other fruits available.

….Alright,

so I've gone back to intro for 3 days and then introduced

bananas 3 days ago, and they seem to be causing some (but not

intolerable amounts of) gas (within 30 minutes or so, both raw and

cooked). Now what? Do I try to find out how much banana I can

tolerate without any symptoms (been averaging about 1 banana/day and I

guess I can lessen that), eliminate them completely, keep eating them

since they're not causing major problems, or what?
