Thank you for sharing. The chest and stomach pain after eating a banana could indicate a sensitivity or mild intolerance to bananas, or it may be due to acid reflux or an underlying digestive issue. It's best to avoid bananas for now and monitor if similar symptoms occur with other foods. We recommend booking an appointment for a detailed evaluation to identify the cause and provide a tailored solution for your child’s comfort and health. Let us help you find the right answer!

Healthy afternoon
Need further evaluation.
Banana are high in fructose, sorbitol , and soluble fibre, making them a common trigger for people with existing gastrointestinal issues.
Additionally, if you are not used to eating a high fiber diet, you may find it helpful to gradually increase your fiber intake and drink more water to alleviate unpleasant symptoms.

Chest pain or stomach pain can also occur due to Gastric issues. Also check whether the child is having any other health related issues .Do a proper test and health check up .Also don't drink milk or citrus food or any baked product after eating banana. Banana contains fructose and any malabsorbtion in it can also trigger stomach pain.

Avoid giving over ripe bananas and make sure the child eats slowly and chews it properly.
Some people could be allergic to bananas , so get an allergy test done
