  • Nausea and stomach cramps.
  • Digestive issues that occur after consuming bananas or banana-containing foods.
When should I consider getting a banana intolerance test?

  • Limit or avoid the consumption of bananas and products containing bananas.
  • Explore alternative fruits that may be better tolerated, such as apples, pears, or berries.
