The doctor told me to start eating more vegs and fruits. After eating a couple of bananas, I feel bloated and get sick to my stomach. Does anyone have this kind of reaction after they are done eating bananas?

Have you tried eating just one banana and see if you have the same reaction? I can tolerate just about anything these days, but I think that eating two bananas would make my stomach explode! LOL
By the way, I hope you're following the IBS diet guidelines, and eating soluble fiber foods before eating those fruits and vegetables. (The bananas are fine by themselves, though.) Doctors rarely know enough about fiber and diet to recommend THAT part.

I eat 1 teeny banana at a time....any more and I'd get bloated from being too full.

Yea, I can only eat 1/2 a banana. If I eat more than that, I get sick to my stomach, too.

I buy REALLY SMALL ONES! They sell "child-size" organic bananas at my grocery store which are 1/2 the size of regular ones. I find one of those HUGELY FILLING, but I don't feel stuffed.

Funny thing about bananas... half of one usually is a "serving" size. Or at least, that's what my mother's diabetic nuritionist told her. *shrug*

I would fill bloated too if I ate a couple of bananas. I eat 1 banana mid morning as my snack and it is filling enough until lunch. It is one my staples in my diet. Try just eating one and see if you get bloated. take care Sue

Bananas give me gas and stomachaches. Best stick with what you can handle. If you can't do regular fruit, I recommend dried apricots and dried apples. 
Feel better--
