Bananas don't seem to increase my C. I'm still taking a lot of stuff to help with that---Natural Calm and also a heaping teaspoon of tummy fiber at night (plus 2 tsp of another fiber, too). I haven't been eating as much rice lately, kind of eating the nightly fruit salad when I would have had rice and cooked veggies. So I think the extra moisture of the fruit is helping the C.
I'm not eating as much white rice this last couple of months--I think I was over doing it. In general, I've been cutting down on starches like that.
I've been getting frozen organic strawberries, blackberries, and mangos to eat with bananas, and I make it kind of a "soup" with rice milk. I haven't had the nerve to try oranges which were really bad for me in the past. I am not pushing my luck on this---I still haven't tried apples, peaches, plums, grapes, or anything else.
But I was SO happy this year to be able to eat a few of our apricots fresh from the tree--I hadn't touched one in years. I am eating some fresh figs from our garden, too, but I have to limit that to 2 a day.
I know I still have some digestive problems because I ate about one half cup of pinto beans in mid-June and it took me almost 3 weeks to recover from that! Bloating and pain!
