anyone else having problems with bananas?

hi,i am suffering from UC from last 1 and half year,been in remission twice.whatever food that dont cause any trouble,starts to give troubles after few weeks.i heard bananas are good for UC but whenever i eat bananas,blood starts to come back,i dont know if its really because of bananas or something else or its just happening because of high carbs in bananas..please share your thoughts on this...THNx

hi iPoop,thanks for replying.first i thought there is no such thing as banana intolerance.what are your symptoms when you eat bananas and what are the other foods that you cant tolerate.

hi fletch10,thanks for replying..do you think its because of high carbs in banana?

I've always gotten extreme gas from bananas...has nothing to do with UC. And don't believe statements about this food is good for UC and that food isnt.
It's subjective, and it doesn't mean that if you eat something today...you will have symptoms weeks later.

Firstly, focus on UC and treating it. Learn UC symptoms and learn food symptoms, and recognise the difference.

I'm flaring now and I eat bananas all the time. I'm pretty sure it's a safe food for me. Maybe you should talk to a nutritionist. My nutritionist told me that something could be a safe food for a certain period of time, but then after a while, your body starts to react to it. I haven't had this experience yet of eating a safe food and then learning that it's no longer safe.

thanks everyone for replying,earlier i used to eat 10-15 bananas a day and i started to gain weight pretty quick but then flair started and now struggling to gain weight again...i think i need to experiment more,,

You can try making protein shakes. I added whole milk, whole yogurt, peanut butter, and a banana into my blender when I needed to gain weight and they were delicious. Adding in carbs is good as well like eating lots of pasta. Gaining weight is only possible if you're 3 or less bms a day, otherwise impossible with bad UC symptoms (best you can hope is slow weight loss when badly flaring).
