What Causes Severe Stomach Pain , Nausea And Excessive Sweating After Eating Bananas?
Why do bananas make me sick? I get a bad stomach ache, nausea and sweating with any amount of banana. I used to eat lots them as a teenage competitive athlete. I am now 33 and have recently starting athletic training again. Included in my current training, I have whey isolate protein shakes that I mix with different fruit. Even in the shakes, the bananas make me sick. So it doesn t matter if it s raw by itself or coupled with something else, I still get sick. I know I have high iron but is that why?? Any ideas?

Hello
Thanks for asking query on HCM. As your symptoms suggest with eating banana - it looks like you have gastro-intestinal allergy to the banana. It happens because of release of some of the mediators of the allergy(some chemicals) in the body as soon as you eat banana. Best thing for you is to avoid banana because you know it as the cause and you can be healthy without eating it.
Take care.
