Has anyone here ever eaten a banana that just locked up your insides?
I had a banana with breakfast yesterday, and it sat in my stomach like a rock all day. Then it got to my large intestine and felt the same, only worse.
Then when it got to my small intestine, the fun really started. Cramps, waves of pain. I slept about 3 hours last night, punctuated with painful cramps that woke me up every 30-45 minutes.
It's 5:30 the next day, and I'm still not right. The pain is mostly gone, but there's still some discomfort.
We've got two bunches of bananas in the kitchen, and I'm scared to touch any of them.

intestine is before your small intestine. It's the other way around for most people. đ

You can tell I've had a career as an engineer, programmer, and sportswriter.

people have small intestines first on the journey : )
As for bananas, ripe ones help you go, green ones do the opposite. No idea why.

Good for gut health, but eat in moderation.

Bananas have always been good to me and now . . . I'm grateful.

The banana may have been pushing the real obstruction through your system. Which may or may not have been a tarantula.
