Banana

Yellow: Limit or adjust

Can fit, but the portion, preparation, or current symptoms may change how banana feels.

Why it received this rating

Bananas are soft, portable, and provide carbohydrate and potassium. They are often tolerated during nausea, though very ripe bananas contain more readily available sugar.

Portion and preparation guidance

Try half to one medium banana, alone or with yogurt.

Symptoms or considerations

People with diabetes may prefer pairing it with protein; reduce the portion if it feels too filling.

Individual tolerance varies. This rating is general educational guidance, not a statement that this food is medically safe or unsafe for you. Follow advice from your prescriber or registered dietitian.
