Does anyone find that eating bananas can aggravate their crohns? my son (who has crohns) loves bananas but ive found that whenever he eats them he uses the toilet more. x

I have a niece who has diverticulitis and she can't eat banana's either, they give her bad diarrhea. I have to be careful eating bananas as they can be too constipating for me at times. I usually share a banana with my husband, that way I don't have issues. Hugs!

Ever since my surgeries I cannot eat a banana without it coming back up. I can still have things like banana bread just fine though. It was one of the fruits that my oral allergy syndrome hadnt taken away from me yet too =(

Bananas are a good choice for my husband as he has short bowel syndrome and the bananas slow down his diarrhea.  Another member suggested to me Peanut Buter to slow down short bowel syndrome and bless her heart she was right. He is like a little boy eating peanut butter sandwiches.

Thanks,

Kitt

Bananas are the one fruit I could eat in my recent flare without getting sick or in horrible pain. They're soft and good, but everyone's diet is SO different. Maybe you could try putting the bananas into something (like banana bread or banana custard) and see if he still has the same problems.

I try to eat more bananas than ever due to all the muscle cramps I get.  I find that if they are too green, they send me a'runnin.  Sometimes I like to take a slice a bread, put some peanut butter on it, roll the banana in it and yum.  I used to love peanut butter and banana sandwhiches when I was a kid.

I eat about five bananas a day-no kidding! I eat them with almond butter and rice cakes for breakfast, in a salad for lunch and one or two on top of that when I feel like something sweet. I'm surprised that my poop doesn't come out long and yellow! I also find that the ripe ones are easier to digest.

I eat 1-2 bananas everyday. It's my go to fruit. Toasted whole with peanut butter and sliced banana = breakfast everyday.

all this talk about pbutter and bananas makes me miss them both so much =( bananas at least I am not allergic to so I can eat banana bread and muffins 9no nuts of course) I use to have pbutter all the time (even fluffernutters...I was told marshmallows slow down D too) but lo and behold the only true food allergy I have (Dx with it about a year before my surgeries so 2006ish) is peanuts. I dont think it would be so bad if I never had certain foods then had an issue even some CD foods makes you miss them and crave them more

Dragonfly, Can you have almond butter? IMHO tastes better than P nut once you get used to it and is good for U!
