Intolerances & allergies
Banana allergy or intolerance is a reaction to consuming bananas or banana-containing foods. Banana allergy is caused by an immune system response to certain proteins found in bananas and can result in symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, nausea, vomiting, coughing, sneezing, diarrhoea, and in severe cases, anaphylaxis. The symptoms of banana intolerance are gastrointestinal such as bloating, gas, discomfort, changes in bowel movements and diarrhoea, and are generally caused by the body's inability to effectively break down the food.

Chocolate allergies are genuine, though uncommon. Reactions can range from mild — an upset stomach or itchy skin — to more serious symptoms such as swelling or difficulty breathing.
