Maybe you need to go for some food allergy testing. Bananas are very high in Potassium...possibly you have a food allergy? Definately stay away from them until you have resolved the problem...it could be dangerous..if you have an alaphalactic shock and your throat could close up. Be careful.....dont take any chances....

It could be because of the high potassium content in bananas. Or maybe you have an allergy or are taking medication that reacts to high levels of Potassium. I have IBS and I cant eat bananas at all. Hope that helps!

I have IBS and bananas are usually something I can eat with no problem. Maybe you have IBS plus some kind of allergic reaction to the banana.

bananas have a lot of potassium in them and you may have I.B.S or some allergy to bananas. i would stay away from them and any other banana product including cerals and breads containing bananas

Because like most vegetable matter in the intestine, it's fermenting and giving off gas.

Uh yeah you probably need to peel them first! No seriously you may have to get an endoscopy to check that out.

Could be to much Potassium intake, ask your doctor for a test, could be a allergy you have!

Don't eat them on an empty stomach.
