Can bananas cause diarrhea?
Despite the usefulness of the exotic fruit, banana can worsen the condition in the treatment of diarrhea if it is introduced into the diet thoughtlessly. If you have an intestinal disorder, it is important to follow the diet requirements.
The first day of therapy is aimed at restoring the body’s hydrobalance, and the potassium salts present in the product, on the contrary, promote the removal of fluid.
But from the second phase of the fight against diarrhea, when it is necessary to thicken stool, a banana will come in handy. But in order not to harm the patient, the fruit is introduced into the diet in small doses. Even an adult can consume no more than 2 fruits per day.
Otherwise, the opposite effect may occur - the product itself will provoke diarrhea.
In what form is it best to consume banana for pathology?
Adult patients can eat bananas, biting off small pieces from the whole fruit and chewing thoroughly. It is better to give pureed product to children.
If the body normally absorbs bananas, the diet is diversified by introducing fruits into the recipes of therapeutic diets: 
- Having purchased natural yogurt at the pharmacy, mix it with chopped banana and beat in a blender; this cocktail must be drunk half an hour before meals;
- After mashing a greenish banana into a puree, add some salt and mix it with rice porridge; the dish is distributed throughout the day, consumed in small portions;
- After mixing banana puree with grated apple, add low-fat cottage cheese, this dish should be taken 1 tbsp. l. 4 times a day.
The given recipes are easily absorbed by the body and will be interesting to children. But before giving these dishes to your child, you should coordinate the diet with your doctor.
Is it possible for adults
When prescribing a therapeutic diet for an adult, the doctor observing him indicates a list of products that can be included in the diet.
Bananas are the only fruit allowed fresh.. In this case, the fruit is consumed in small portions throughout the day, in the intervals between main meals.
Eating bananas during pregnancy
The banana itself is recommended for “interesting situations” - it helps to cope with toxicosis. Useful composition The product has a beneficial effect on the condition of the pregnant woman and promotes the proper development of the fetus. The endorphin contained in bananas lifts your mood and keeps your body in good shape.
In pregnant women, the digestive system malfunctions, and the yellow fruit will help improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract.
To cope with loose stools, a pregnant woman should follow these recommendations: 
- do not combine bananas with dairy products;
- do not eat green and overripe fruits - they provoke flatulence;
- V last days Before giving birth, it is better to limit the consumption of this exotic product.
If you abuse the norms, then bananas can not only provoke even more diarrhea, but also cause allergic reactions, jaundice, and anemia.
Is it possible for nursing mothers
Bananas are good for breastfeeding women - they promote increased production of breast milk. But is it possible to eat fruits with diarrhea, you will have to consult a pediatrician.
The mother’s entire diet is selected taking into account the effect of foods on the baby’s body. The components that make up bananas can provoke allergies in sensitive babies.
Is it possible for children
The first day or two, the diet for children includes restoring the water-salt balance. Therefore, bananas and other foods are temporarily excluded. At this stage, the only important thing is to drink plenty of fluids - green teas, infusions of bird cherry and blueberry fruits, chamomile flowers, pomegranate peel, as well as rice decoctions.
Artificial infants are transferred to lactose-free formulas, and complementary foods are canceled for children with mixed nutrition. Subsequently, if the baby does not vomit, light food is introduced into the diet in small doses.
Among other products, they begin to give a banana to the child, but in limited quantities and only in pureed form.
In a weakened state, some children refuse to eat, and exotic fruit will help support the body by replenishing nutrients and restoring intestinal microflora.
But bananas are contraindicated for babies under one year old, since the baby’s digestive system is not yet fully formed. IN in this case the fruits will be difficult to digest food. Bananas are not recommended for children under 3 years of age due to the risk of causing hemolytic anemia or an allergic rash (sometimes anaphylactic shock).
Which bananas are suitable and which are not?
Before eating bananas for diarrhea, you should consider their ripeness. Unripe fruits contain undissolved starch, which prevents the stomach from digesting it. Green bananas cause heaviness and bloating.
What else you should pay attention to:
- Slight black dots on the peel indicate the maturity of the product, so it can be safely eaten. But you need to use the banana right away.
- But extensive dark spots indicate that the fruit is not only overripe, but has also begun to rot. The fruit itself can cause diarrhea.
- You should also not buy gray bananas - they have been frozen, which means they have lost all their value.
If fruits are bought for several days, then you should choose those whose peel has a pure yellow tint. If you come across slightly greenish bananas, they will ripen at home.
The shape also matters - for a quality fruit it should be streamlined, not ribbed. The peel is smooth and matte to the touch. Gloss indicates fruit processing to improve presentation.
As for the sizes, they are not so important and do not affect the taste. But bananas less than 15 cm long are classified as second-class and spoil faster.
What other properties does the fruit have?
In addition to the described properties, the exotic product is useful for heart disease, hypotension and atherosclerosis. Bananas help relieve swelling of any kind, as well as get rid of colds.
It is recommended to introduce fruits into therapeutic diets in the treatment of ulcers duodenum and stomach. There is clinical evidence that banana juice has a therapeutic effect on internal hemorrhages in the gastrointestinal tract.
Contraindications for use
Despite the fact that the starchy product copes well with loose stools, not everyone can eat fruit. The fruit is completely contraindicated for people suffering from diabetes due to its high content of sweet components.
Patients with thrombophlebitis and those suffering from venous varicose veins should introduce bananas into their diet with caution and only after consulting a doctor. In this case, the weekly norm should be reduced to 2 fruits.
We should not forget that yellow fruits thicken the blood.
Conclusion
Fruits that come to us from the exotic tropics are a real mini-pharmacy. But fruits should be introduced into the menu carefully, taking into account the characteristics of the body and contraindications. Restrictions must be adhered to not only during diarrhea, but also after diarrhea, because everything is good in moderation.

To prevent such phenomena, you should not drink water or juice after eating bananas and eat bananas on an empty stomach; it is better to eat them an hour after lunch or dinner.
In addition, bananas should not be on the table of heart attack or stroke patients, women suffering from thrombophlebitis or varicose veins.

In rare cases, it is possible to develop an allergy to bananas.
