Bananas - is it good or bad?

I have IBS & i cannot eat alot of things. Recently, the only thing that made me feel good was eating bananas. I eat 8-10 bananas a day. This doesnt make me feel heavy, bloated or give me pain.

Is eating alot of bananas good or bad for you?

Any advice someone

Re: Bananas - is it good or bad?

Nothing wrong with eating bananas. Although, I would recommend you cut your servings down to half the amount your currently eating. Though, I will almost guarentee you will get sick of them in time. But otherwise it's ok but try to cut down, bananas do contain plenty of fructose(fruit sugar).

Re: Bananas - is it good or bad?

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I have had linseed seeds & the raw oats cooked this morning. I still went to the toilet after i ate that. I been to so many gas doctors & all of them prescribed stuff such as Anti-depressants, pain tablets, gas tablets, etc... I dont know what to do. I have had the colon-indo scopy, scans, blood tests, etc... Nothing helped. Yesterday, i had soup & i went beserk. Thats the reason why i turned to bananas. I feel that & vegetable salads really help alot. I get alot of work done & i worry less about my stomach when i eat bananas. I also am less depressed & more focused. I know this sounds really dumb to only eat bananas but i have tried every other diet possible. With bananas, i have Rhodiola Rosea, Multi-Vitamins & chromium picolinate to regulate the sugar levels in my blood. I feel really good only eating bananas & i wish i could forever feel this way. I have not felt so good in so many years. I am socialable, more active, more awake & also way less angry. What happens if i have alot of fructose sugar?

I would really appreciate your comments or help in any way. I have read that ancient indian gurus only ate fruit & they survived. I am trying to find a good meal replacement with alot of protein.

I know this sounds dumb but solid foods make me go of my head, stomach pains, fatigue & also irratability.

Thank you IBS helpers
