Hi Everyone!

Just some points to note~ I too love bananas, but a therapist whom I saw some years ago for other issues warned me about taking them on an empty stomach. Apparently they're not so good, though they do seem to help in filling us up when we're hungry. She advised taking some solid foods when we're hungry before actually eating bananas. Have found several websites which mentions this too, and the explanation is that bananas contain a high amt of magnesium which results in a sudden increase in magnesium in our blood when we take them on an empty stomach. Its said to affect the balance between calcium and magnesium in the blood, which affects the way our heart works. This could be why some people experience mild stomachaches or heartburn when eating bananas on an empty stomach. Don't neglect these symptoms!

I still love eating bananas but I do seem to feel better when I don't eat them on an empty stomach.

Hope this info is useful!
