Why anorexic people starve.

It is not hard to understand anorexia. When we starve we have less life energy. Why have energy when there is nothing to be happy about? When no one loves us? What is the point in staying strong when there is no one to be strong for? When you see no love anywhere what keeps you staying here? Food and love is connected somehow. Both nourishes you. To just have food, not love, just seems unbalanced to me. So we starve instead of killing ourselves quickly hoping love will catch us before we fall in the grave.

Fodmap in bananas differs

If you eat the right variety and when it is ripened in warm temperature instead of cold, you may eat more of it without discomfort from excess fructans. Lucky are those who live in a warm country and can get ripe bananas right from the tree. The ones with no fructans is red bananas (are grown in Costa Rica), Poova and Morris. Bananas and other fruits produce fodmaps to protect themselves against the cold they feel while being stored. 

The ones you should avoid is first of all Nendran, then Hill, rasthali and karpooravalli. We also know that the common banana cavendish is tested for high levels of fodmap (fructans) when ripe. These bananas are often sold under the names of William, Grande Nain, and Valery. Sugar banana has slightly less fructan content.

Update 28.04.2022: There is now two companies that sells an enzymes that digest fructans. I have ordered from one of them (Fodzyme) and look forward to making ice cream of freezed bananas. 

According to other research it is not only found fructans in bananas, but sorbitol as well.
