ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Do bananas make you poop or do they constipate you?  I am hearing and reading completely different things.


Answer me!

YES. Especially if I eat them in the morning before school or work.

If I eat them at another time of day, I'm okay. I have no idea why this is.

My brother and I have told my dad this for YEARS and always resist eating them in the morning. He doesn't believe us!

the question was "do they make you poop or constipate you?" and you just said YES.

I guess if there's loads of fibre, poop city.

Google says a potassium overdose can stop your heart so I would say "woah, nelly" to excess banana intake ;)

My sister had chronic constipation when she was younger (Oh boy! I bet she'll be pleased to know I'm sharing this all over the interwebs!) and the doctor prescribed bananas.

But that was the 80's and, you know, things have changed. Bananas may have mutated since then. Who knows.

I have seen both things. We have given bananas to children to try to get them to poop as well as using them to stop them up. Bananas are part of the BRAT diet they recommend when you're having problems with diarrhea. (Banana, rice, applesauce, toast.)

I think it may depend on where your body is when you eat the banana. Is it pre-disposed to constipation? Then it might help loosen things up. Is your body already expelling foods at a high rate? Then they might help stop the rate.

(I can't give you any evidence from myself personally, as I don't eat them frequently enough to know. Too much bloody sugar in them for me. I get my potassium in other ways.)

Constipate me. And they make me fart. Which is why I don't eat them before or at work. Although maybe I should. Heh.

When I have a colitis flare-up I'm supposed to go on a BRATT diet to settle my stomach, the B is bananas, so I'm saying: it depends on what you need, it'll either make you poop or firm you up.

I think it depends on the quantity you eat them in. I eat Bananas and they have no effect on me, but it stops up the boyfriend.
