Bananas and Farting

[Sully]

Anyone here get gas from bananas too?

[boxcarguy07]

wow, thankfully not!

I would be in big trouble if so!

Things that give me gas are raw eggs (less so now than when I first started)
and nuts (so now I only eat hemp seeds, as those don't. I used to eat a lot of almonds, and those gave me gas)


However, my old diet of oats and protein shakes gave me worse gas than anything!

Might depend on the banana variety you get. (there are lots and lots of them from all over the world).
And if the banana was grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers and if was tree ripened.
If your bananas were imported from my country (the Philippines), that's the bananas the locals don't want. (cavendish)

I used to eat tons of bananas, like upwards of 40 a day when on a fruitarian type diet, and I would get gas from it. It didn't smell bad but I felt bloated sometimes.

40 bananas a day?
Whoa!
I also did fruitarian, but never did I think of eating 40 bananas a day.
How tiny are those 40 bananas?

The only time I've gotten gas was when mixing animal foods with plant foods. I didn't get it as a raw vegan nor as a carnivore. I think it has to do with having the proper intestinal fauna and mixing foods like that messes with the balance of that fauna.

They were large.
