Clarification on some foods - Bananas
Some clarification should be mentioned when it comes to the subject of banana's. Bananas definitely are gluten free (there has been some confusion about this).
However bananas probably contain some other form of protein or some other substance which cause a bad reaction on the digestive system if you have colitis, ulcerative colitis, proctitis . This might be just an individual issue (my own sensitivity) or it might be far more wide spread a problem for other suffers.
I strongly advise anyone with acute or chronic digestive conditions to stay off eating bananas until your system is healed up or you can once again tolerate a more normal diet (could take weeks or months). I am NOT saying bananas are a bad food just that if your suffering a digestive condition then you may not be able to tolerate them. Caution is required.
