Does Vomiting After Eating A Raw Banana Indicate Digestive Intolerance To It?

I developed terrible stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting a couple hours after eating a rather raw banana on an empty stomach. The pain and upset lasted a few hours and then gradually improved. I really don t think I had a virus. I can t think of what else could have caused this sudden onset of symptoms but they were pretty miserable while they lasted and I think it was that banana. The only other food I had that morning was a small cup of coffee and an English muffin. What are the chances of having digestive intolerance to a not-quite-ripe banana after never previously having any adverse reaction to them?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
I hope I have answered your query.
If this happened only once then I dont think this can be related to intolerance or indigestion. Sometimes it simply your body reacts on this way if stomach was irritated by previous food or drink as it could be coffee in your case. If you had bannanas before then this confirms my thesis since intoleracnce cant develop just like this if this wasnt present earlier. If it happens again, it would be good to do gastroscopy to see if there is stomach ulcer or gastritis or esophageal disorders which could lead to such experience.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
