Wow! This is impressive. Thank you for all the information. You went to a lot of trouble to bring us this information..and I for one, appreciate it. I learned a lot. I find banana's give me a funny feeling in my gut.. like bloated... Could you explain that? I've had my gull bladder removed years ago... that could have something to do with it.
