It could also be a latex allergy depending on a person's severity of the allergy a lot of Ppl allergic to latex are allergic to bananas.0 -
I don't eat bananas often. In my day to day I tend towards lower glycemic load fruits...I like berries and I usually eat an apple every day. I like bananas and other higher GL fruits when I'm going to have a strenuously active day...like an all day hike or something where I'm just going to be torching the sugar.0

Occasionally, but it's not one of my main fruit staples.

I don't really. Not for any real reason, i'm just not a banana person. I like strawberries and apples.0

Me - I don't like them. I find there is a tiny window in which they taste good so I don't bother.
I am not much of a fruit eater - give me any fruit and I can give you a reason why I don't care for it.
I do like fresh picked ripe strawberries from the field, but I only do that once a year.0 -

This is probably Oral Allergy Syndrome from the pollen. I have this & can't eat them. Are there other fruits & veg that you can't eat?
When I was a child I was not allergic to anything. When I was about 16, I noticed that when I ate bananas my tongue would start to itch. It was not until about a year or two ago, when I started trying to eat healthier, that I became curious as to why certain foods now made me itch. I also came across the Oral Allergy Syndrome diagnosis.
Apples really make me itch. However, applesauce does not. I tried boiling peeling and boiling an apple. I still was itchy. Most fruit, aside from citrus, now makes me itch. I do eat peanuts, but nuts make me a bit nervous. About 2 years ago I was eating a Nature Valley Nut bar and I could barely swallow! I thought I might have to go to the hospital. However, after about 5 minutes I was okay.
I am tempted to try a banana again because I honestly think it has been over 10 years since I had one.

I don't "not" eat them. I just don't like the way they make my gums itch. Otherwise, I have nothing against bananas. I'll have one once in a while if I'm that hungry.0

@Adc7225 your post is good example we all can respond differently to the same food and why social media is not a good and safe source of eating advice. What that may be fine for one to eat may be bad for another.

This seems to be a more or less balanced article but we can the carb/fiber ratio does not make them a weight loss food of choice for some perhaps.

I have a love/hate relationship with bananas. If I eat only 1 banana every few weeks I love them. If I try to eat two within the same timeframe I literally gag on the second one. Too much of a good thing and all that I suppose...0

I love bananas, and usually have one a few times a week, I add them to smoothies or ice cream. I stick to the 70ish grammers, and only like them if they are yellow and green.0

I only like them yellow speckled lightly with tiny brown spots. Like I said it is a very tiny window. They go from that to overripe in a flash.0 -

If a whole banana in a smoothie is too sweet, try half a banana -- you get the flavor without so much sweetness. I like to cut them in half and freeze them for use in smoothies.0
