                                Dumping syndrome is a common complication affecting up to 70% of gastric bypass patients, resulting from food, especially high-sugar items, moving too rapidly into the small intestine. This raises the question: Are bananas good for dumping syndrome, or do they pose a risk? The answer, it turns out, is more complex than a simple 'yes' or 'no' and largely depends on a banana's ripeness.
