He noted that these fruits are hypoallergenic they are suitable for feeding children. Still, they can cause problems for those who poorly digest fiber or have diseases of the intestines, gall bladder, pancreas. In this case, bloating may occur, he said.
“You don’t need to combine bananas with other sources of fiber, either. For example, if you are making a fruit salad, do not add apples and, especially, vegetables to unripe bananas, as they will enhance the bloating effect,” Isinbayev explained.
The specialist emphasized that in the absence of these diseases, unripe bananas are helpful. They contain, among other things, resistant starch, which normalizes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. This is while ripe fruits are distinguished by a large amount of sugar. Therefore, banana-chocolate desserts should be excluded from the diet for people with high blood glucose levels.
