My son got diarrhea from banana. He went without it for a few days,

then when he had one, diarrhea within an hour (he must have felt

funny in the stomach, because he came and asked for a diaper - he was

in early stages of potty training).

I think its an intolerance of some kind - possibly phenols, but who

knows.

My son gets terrible diarrhea from bananas and they are also high in

phenols. I know, you're just getting used to GFCF and now you start

hearing about phenols and salicylates, WHAT NEXT. Keep things simple

starting out, maybe try and make french fries or something else he

may really like as a staple and then add one thing at a time. If he

likes peanut butter(a good source of protein but also a high

salycilate and phenol) slowly start to cut it with cashew butter on

rice cakes. I find pears are the best fruit for my son, they're low

phenol and salycilate, and even though they are high in fibre they

don't give him the runs, and most stuff does. But too much of any

fruit usually gives diarrhea.
