Every time I eat a banana the roof of my mouth hurts. Why?!
It feels like I just ate something hard and crunchy and cut it!. :SWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
I think you are allergic!. Mildly!. You may move on to develop an upset stomach or heartburn and then eventually a rash!. This could take several years!. Common allergies if you are allergic to bananas, you may also be allergic to strawberries, kiwi, and latex!. Would be interesting to see if you are working in health care!. If you have prolonged exposure to latex, you can become allergic to latex or one of the above things!. I was able to eat kiwi for years with no problem!. Then I didn't have it for about a year and tried it again!. It caused me to vomit excessively and feel like hair was growing in my throat and mouth!. I am a nurse and have used latex gloves for years!. This could perhaps be a connection for why I developed the kiwi allergy!. Not allergic to latex though!. Weird!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is purely a guess!.
It's a fact that tropical fruit like bananas and pineapple contain a lot of enzymes!.
Pineapple and a lot of tropical fruit are used to tenderize meat!.
I think the enzymes can actually tenderize or eat away at the tissues in our mouth if eaten in large amounts!. (especially for people who are more sensitive to it)Www@FoodAQ@Com

You could have an allergy to Potassium!.
Bananas are high sources for potassium, as their chemical makeup relies on how potassium combines with the citric acids in the fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
