I get heartburn almost every time I eat a banana. I don’t eat them until they are nice and ripe, but within 5 minutes, sometimes before I finish it, I get pretty bad heartburn. I wish someone could tell me why, I have been to an allergist for other things and was tested for food allergies along with everything else. I can not figure out why I get such bad heartburn from them so quickly.

I get heartburn from bananas, too. The only medicine that works for me now is chewable DGL, which I get at my healthfood store. It is all natural. I notice that yellow banans give me heartburn, but green bananas do not always give me heartburn. I have very little problems with heartburn (do not eat fatty foods, wine once a week, do not smoke, eat lean fish and chicken). I am not sure why I have a problem with bananas.-especially yellow ones.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I eat a banana I get nasty almost regurgitating heartburn, its like the banana is trying to escape, I love bananas and I only eat old ones, I like them best when the stems are turning black, my g-ma told me those are the ones she made banana bread with so I just always go for those ones..but it doesnt really matter ripe or not ripe, bananas simply give me nasty heartburn..so does pepsi, 7up, pumpkin pie, apples, pizza, “sketti” sauce..lol but I still consume some of those occasionally, teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water is the only thing that ever works, and sometimes nasty chalky original mylanta, but tums and the pink crap might as well forget it..

I love bananas – they just don’t love me. It’s guaranteed that within 5 minutes of eating one (and I only eat ripe ones), I’ll have heartburn. Usually only severe enough to need one tums though.

everyone here is talking about how bananas gave them heartburn but people who had heartburn and then ate a banana got relief. Maybe the trick is to eat a banana when you have heartburn as relief instead of eating it before you have heartburn. I’ll try eating one next time I get heartburn.
