Banana FODMAP Content

by Bethany Willson Specialist Dietitian BSc Hons Leave a Comment

Banana FODMAP content varies between different ripeness stages and different types of this fruit. So, we understand it might be tricky to include bananas in your diet if you are an IBS sufferer.

This article will discuss low FODMAP portions of bananas, their nutrient content, and some delicious low FODMAP banana recipes.

banana FODMAP

Table of Contents

  • Banana FODMAP content

  • Plantain FODMAP content
  • Are banana chips low FODMAP?
  • Do bananas cause bloating and gas?
  • Banana’s Nutrition Facts 
  • Low FODMAP banana recipes
  • Summary

Banana FODMAP content

A firm banana is considered a low FODMAP fruit. As per Monash, it is low FODMAP at 100 g, which is roughly one small banana. Larger quantities are not suitable for the low FODMAP diet due to the presence of fructans (1). 

A firm banana contains between 70-80 % resistant starch. During ripening, enzymes convert resistant starch into simple sugars. A ripe banana can contain less than 1 % resistant starch (2). 

You can enjoy bananas in many different ways. You can add them to the following:

  • Low FODMAP yogurt
  • Low FODMAP porridge
  • Low FODMAP smoothie
  • Low FODMAP dessert

When bananas are ripe, the fructan content increases greatly. Therefore, a ripe banana is low FODMAP in a much smaller portion size of 35 g (1).

Sugar banana FODMAP content

Sugar bananas, also known as lady finger bananas, are low FODMAP when firm and ripe (1). 

This type of banana is smaller than β€œcommon” bananas and have thinner skin. They also taste sweeter. 

This type of banana can be eaten fresh or cooked. They can be added to dishes in the same ways as common bananas. When following a recipe, swap common bananas with sweet bananas.

Plantain FODMAP content

Plantain or cooking banana is a staple food in most regions of Africa and Asia. Plantains are starchy fruit with natural flavour. When cooked, the texture becomes softer, which is why plantains are usually eaten processed (3).

According to Monash, plantain is low FODMAP, meaning you can consume it freely (1).

Plantains are larger and usually less sweet than common bananas. You can enjoy plantains cooked or baked, sweet or savoury. You can follow the next low FODMAP recipes if you need some inspiration.

Low FODMAP plantain recipes:

  • Low FODMAP plantain chips
  • Low FODMAP Zu’s plantain
  • Green plantain crackers
  • Plantain root vegetable hash
  • Baked ribbon plantain chips 

Are banana chips low FODMAP?

Banana chips are low FODMAP in small amounts – roughly 15 chips (1).

Banana chips are simply made from dehydrated bananas. Larger quantities are not suitable for a low FODMAP diet due to fructans, a type of FODMAP (1).

Banana chips are commonly present in breakfast cereals. Here, you can check our article on how to choose low FODMAP cereals.

Do bananas cause bloating and gas?

Yes, bananas can cause bloating and gas in some people that are sensitive. 

Firm bananas contain a lot of resistant starch, which we are unable to digest. Therefore, when it reaches the large bowel, it is fermented by the gut microbiota, releasing gases. This can exacerbate symptoms like bloating and excess gas in people with IBS.

You might wonder how a ripe banana causes the same symptoms if enzymes convert resistant starch into sugars.  Resistant starch is converted into sucrose, fructose, and glucose. Both sucrose and fructose can cause the same symptoms as resistant starch. 

The solution is the same as for firm bananas – try smaller portions and gradually increase them and find your tolerance level. 

Furthermore, ripe bananas can cause bloating and gas in people with IBS due to fructans. If you are sensitive to fructans, you should stick to the low FODMAP portion sizes, as discussed above (1). 

Besides ripe bananas, fructans are also found in (1):

  • Onion
  • Asparagus
  • Wheat
  • Barley 

This does not mean you have to avoid bananas completely, and is fact a good sign that we are feeding out gut bacteria! But to avoid or reduce symptoms, try smaller portions or spreading your intake across the day. 

Banana’s Nutrition Facts 

Now that we have discussed low FODMAP portions let’s find out its nutrition facts.

Firm banana at 100g provides us roughly (3):

  • 3 g of dietary fibre (10 % of recommended intake)
  • 360 mg of potassium (10 % of daily needs) 
  • 0,4 mg of vitamin B6 (33 % of daily needs)
  • 9 mg of vitamin C (22 % of daily needs)

This makes bananas great fruit as a snack, or you can add them to:

  • Breakfast cereal
  • Porridge
  • Smoothie 

Low FODMAP banana recipes

Baking can be challenging on the low FODMAP diet. But do not worry; we collected some tasty recipes, so roll up your sleeves and prepare something delicious!

  • Low FODMAP banana bread
  • Low FODMAP banana nut bread
  • Low FODMAP banana chocolate chip muffins
  • Low FODMAP banana mini pancakes
  • Low FODMAP banana oat waffles
  • Low FODMAP banana birthday cake with lemon icing
  • Low FODMAP banana oat cookies
  • Low FODMAP banana coconut sorbet

Summary

Banana FODMAP content increases as the fruit ripens.

So, if bananas make you gassy and bloated, start by trying out smaller portions and gradually increase them to establish your tolerance.Β 

If you are left without any ideas on how to include bananas in your diet, check above our suggestions and 13 delicious recipes. We hope this helps you!

😬 Anyone relate? πŸ’© Many people I talkt to a 😬 Anyone relate?

πŸ’© Many people I talkt to are trying to manage their IBS through restriction. The irony being that even with avoiding multiple foods, they still have symptoms.

πŸ™ Whilst you may have some food intolerances, it shouldn't be multiple. A restrictive diet will worsen your gut health. Instead of avoiding multiple foods and Still having symptoms adopt the Take Control approach of following the low FODMAP diet to identify specific food triggers and tolerance levels.

πŸ’© Including wholegrain, oily fish, plenty of veggies, fruits, nuts and olive oil is easy with a few tweaks to any diet!

βœ… Swap your white carbs to brown

⁉️ Have you heard of these symptoms before?

😳 Both of these symptoms can be caused by a few things and one of them is bowel cancer. But we don't know based on symptoms alone so please go and get checked.

🩸Blood can appear on a toilet tissue, in the toilet bowl or it can look like part or all of your stool is black.

βš–οΈ Unexplained weight loss means that you have lost weight despite eating adequate calories and not really changing your exercise routine. It can be common in IBS to lose weight but this is due to eating less food and so it is explainable.

πŸ™πŸ™ If you have either of these symptoms please see your doctor to get checked, don't take the chance.

😫 Suffering from IBS can be difficult and burdensome especially when trying to go about your daily life. IBS is a condition that cannot be seen which makes it even more difficult for others to understand and can often feel very isolating😒. 

πŸ‘‰ Instead of keeping this condition to yourself, adopt the Take Control principle of community and get support from people who also have this condition. You can do this by opening up to friends (1 in 10 people have this!) or joining  online FB groups - this way you won't feel so alone in your fight!

😞 IBS is a very complex disorder to navigate by yourself. It’s more than just altering your diet, a lot of factors are at play with your IBS. Trying to work out what triggers your IBS is an absolute mind field.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Adopting the Take Control Method, where the 4 pillars of IBS relief are all addressed (diet, movement, mental health and sleep), has helped so many of my clients to achieve that ultimate symptom relief because it considers EVERYTHING, not just what you out in your mouth.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
