Celiac Disease Support Group
Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...
Every time I eat a banana my stomach will start to hurt about 15 minutes after I finish it. Then I heard from a not very reliable source that banana's have gluten in them. That was one fruit they gave me to eat when I was a kid. Is there gluten in them, or do they need to be really ripe before I eat them. I have avoided eating them for 3 years. If you can tell me if they have gluten in them I'd appreciate it.

There is no gluten in bananas. Gluten is a protein found in grains.

For some reason, I have a probelm eating apples that are not peeled, it just may be that our 'systems' can not handle certain foods for some unknown reason. It may not be a food allergy but more of a digestive problem in general.

The same thing happened to me. I was ALWAYS in pain so I thought I would eat foods that would be easy on my stomach - like bananas! I ate them every day. I went do doctors because my stomach always hurt so much. Then one of my daughters (in college) told me she thought her stomach hurt after eating bananas too. We both stopped eating them and now my stomach is MUCH better. I didn't eat a lot of whole wheat because my stomach couldn't handle it. After I stopped eating bananas I went whole wheat crazy and then the Celiac symptoms appeared. We have both learned that bananas cause stomach problems in a lot of people.

If you have a latex allergy bananas are supposed to make your mouth itch. They upset my stomach sometimes too, I can't eat them in the morning (my grandma is the same way) but if I eat them in the afternoon I'm usually fine. Also if I have them with milk that helps too. (like in cereal)

Thanks for all the helpful answers. I'm not allergic to latex. After reading these posts I am guessing bananas are too hard on my stomach. I also can only eat one kind of apple or my stomach hurts. I don't know what kind of apple it is, but it has yellow peel.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
