even though bananas are a soluble fiber-as i've been eating them as i'm trying to start out on a strict soluble fiber diet for a week before reintroducing insoluble fiber again -it seems as if they cause extreme hyperactive activity in the stomach with strong pressure and intestinal gas, does this make sense even though it should be on the safe food list?

Sounds like you have a food sensitivity to it. It can happen every now and then. Try switching to another soluble fibre food and see if there's a difference.

They're not on my safe food list. They give me gas, bloating and D. Try using that soluable fiber list as a guideline, not the word of truth.
Some people react differently to different things, I know I do.  The list is a good start, but You'll have to hone it down to what's safe for you!

God,some pain riddled days I practically LIVE on bananas-I'm SO sorry you have that reaction and i can't understand it! I don't know WHAT I'd do if I had your problem!You SURE it's the bananas,dumb as that question sounds?But it just goes to show you how mysterious the biological mechanism of this illness is right now-you ask why it bothers you and not others?If they could answer THAT,we wouldn't need a special diet-we'd have drugs for it and could eat whatever we liked.
