A member asked:

Can eating blueberries or bananas cause severe, cramping abdominal pain (without having an allergy to them)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: This reaction is called food intolerance if no allergy can be shown. There are cases reported now of food protein induced enterocolitis in adults wherein certain food proteins are toxic to a small group of individuals and this may be the problem for you. Avoidance is the key.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
