I used to eat those when I grew up in the French West Indies. And baby bananas, fantastic taste...Unfortunately, even before the sleeve, as soon as IBS kicked in I couldn't tolerate those....it got worth post-sleeve.

How did you eat them?

In Guatemala, we make all sorts of yummi fried things with plantains and that may be cause??? But we also just boil them with cinnamon and a bit of sugar and eat them plain out of the boiled plantain broth, which we drink too. I have eaten them boiled twice this past week and no problem. However, with all things Sleeve what works for me today, may not work next week.

It was mainly fried, but also grilled or in stews. But when my IBS started 22 years ago, it was game over. And since the sleeve even one small bite of banana can make my reflux much much worth, so I don't even try anymore! It's too bad because I did like plantain, in Colombo (kind of curry) it was delicious...
