Reply #9: I love bananas and ate them for almost daily for years with no problems.

However, once I became pregnant for my second or third child, they started making my stomach upset--that "like a rock" feeling. I can eat them cooked just fine, but raw I never know what's going to happen. My ex's grandmother used to make us eat a fruit salad she concocted every Sunday dinner that had bananas in it (I know she was hoping I'd miss one). I would pick out the bananas and the fruit salad would still make me violently ill. Once I got a little tipsy and ate a whole banana to see what would happen. My kids thought I was trying to commit suicide. Nothing happened. I eat them sparingly now and then (banana cream pie), but I'm a little afraid of them. I really miss sliced bananas on plain cheerios though!
