It took me until my 30s to make the connection that bananas cause me intense headaches. I used to love to eat them, but now won't touch them.
I think I'm fine with them cooked, but not raw.
I don't know the mechanism, but if you do searches on bananas and headaches you will find people prescribing them as a cure for headaches, not the other way around.
