What can eating to many bananas do?

Upset stomach: Bananas may cause abdominal cramps and or diarrhea. They also contain a lot of potassium so if you eat a lot you can increase your potassium levels which could be dangerous. Some people also report bananas may cause constipation.

Not much: Mostly, you gain weight. Too many bananas means you can satisfy hunger without getting a variety of foods needed for health. Bananas are good for carbohydrates, potassium and fiber, but shy on protein. Moderation in all things, even bananas.
