Details
A case report describes apparent wearing off in a patient with Parkinson disease after eating a banana every day. The wearing off subsided after removing dietary bananas (110618).

In vitro and animal research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit platelet aggregation due to its phenolic content (76472,76488). Theoretically, strawberry might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Details
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
|
In vitro research suggests that strawberry extract can inhibit p-glycoprotein efflux (76474,76476). Theoretically, strawberry might inhibit p-glycoprotein mediated drug efflux and potentially increase levels of drugs that are substrates of p-glycoprotein. Until more is known, strawberry should be used cautiously in people taking p-glycoprotein substrates.
Details
Drugs that might be affected include some chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine), antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole), protease inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir), H2 antagonists (cimetidine, ranitidine), some calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, verapamil), corticosteroids, erythromycin, cisapride (Propulsid), fexofenadine (Allegra), cyclosporine, loperamide (Imodium), quinidine, and others.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, bananas are well tolerated when consumed as food.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Bloating, cramping, gas.
Topically: Urticaria.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Anaphylaxis, intestinal obstruction.
Endocrine ...In one case report, an adolescent girl who consumed nothing other than 20 bananas daily developed hyperkalemia and hyperdopaminemia. These changes in the blood resulted in pseudoaldosteronism and dysthymia (93780).
Gastrointestinal
...Orally, banana starch isolated from green bananas has resulted in bloating, gas, cramping, and softer feces (93448,93449,110619).
When consumed prior to exercise, fullness and bloating during exercise have been reported (93459). In children, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension have been reported when banana is used in the treatment of diarrhea (93461). Cases of intestinal obstruction due to banana seeds have been reported (93777).
In one case report, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) has been associated with banana consumption (93778).
Immunologic ...Orally, banana has been reported to cause allergic reaction, including urticaria and redness, abdominal pain and nausea, dyspnea (93779,93781,93782,93797,93798,93803), and anaphylaxis (93783,93793,93802,93803). Topically, contact urticara has also been reported (93784). Skin testing is not always accurate, even for patients with severe banana allergy (93793).
Psychiatric ...Orally, high banana consumption has been associated with a higher likelihood of depressive symptoms in females, but not males, in a cross-sectional study of the general Chinese adult population (106471).
General ...Orally, casein protein is well tolerated in adults and seems to be well tolerated in infants. Side effects reported in clinical trials did not occur more commonly than placebo (85932,91251,91266,91286,91294,91299,91641,91646,91667). Some of these reported side effects include diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and delayed gastric emptying (91640,91667). In preterm infants, casein protein has been associated with an increased risk for metabolic acidosis (91667,91671). Rarely, casein protein has been reported to cause allergic reaction (91629).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, casein protein-based enteral nutrition has been reported to cause diarrhea and vomiting in adults (91640). Casein protein-predominant formula has been reported to cause constipation in infants (91667). Casein protein-based formula can delay gastric emptying when compared with whey protein-based formula (86084,86103).
Immunologic ...Rarely, allergic reaction to casein protein has been reported. Symptoms include skin reactions, difficulty breathing, gastrointestinal distress, and anaphylaxis (91629). At one time, casein protein was thought to be the major allergenic and antigenic protein in cow's milk (91627). However, it is now known that no specific protein or peptide in cow's milk is primarily responsible for cow's milk allergy; casein protein is used as a common alternative to cow's milk formula (91628).
Other ...Orally, casein protein-predominant formula has been associated with an increased risk for metabolic acidosis in preterm infants when compared to using humanized whey protein-predominant or special low birth weight formulas (91671).
General
...Orally, strawberry is well tolerated when taken in the amounts commonly found in food.
When taken in medicinal amounts, strawberry seems to be generally well tolerated (100109,100113,100116,100119). Rarely, strawberry has been reported to cause nausea and allergic reactions, including oral allergy syndrome and skin reactions (100113,100119,103880).
Topically, strawberry can cause contact dermatitis (13637).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, taking freeze-dried strawberry powder 50 grams daily has been reported to cause nausea in clinical trials (100113,100119).
Immunologic ...Orally, consuming strawberry has been reported to cause allergic reactions, including oral allergy syndrome and skin reactions, in some patients. (103880). Topically, strawberry has caused contact urticaria in one case report (13637). Overall, allergy to strawberry appears to be rare (103880).
General
...Orally, whey protein is generally well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Acne, bloating, cramps, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, nausea, reflux, reduced appetite, and thirst. Most adverse effects are dose-related.
Cardiovascular ...In one case report, use of an unclear quantity of whey protein over one month was thought to be probably responsible for the development of coronary embolism in three coronary arteries in a 33-year-old male with no history of atherosclerosis risk factors. The patient required treatment with intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor and heparin (96023).
Dermatologic ...Orally, whey protein has been reported to trigger the onset or worsening of acne. Multiple case reports in teenagers and young adults have associated intake of whey protein with the development of acne or the worsening of existing acneiform lesions. In these reports, the discontinuation of whey protein was typically associated with the clearance of acne lesions. In some cases, patients who were unresponsive to acne treatments while using whey protein became responsive after whey protein discontinuation (103965,103970,103971). Cow's milk, which is comprised of 20% whey protein, is also thought to exacerbate acne. It is theorized that this effect may be due to the growth factor and alpha-lactalbumin content of whey protein (103971,103982).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, whey protein, especially in higher doses of 2. 3-6.5 grams/kg daily, may cause increased bowel movements, nausea, thirst, bloating, esophageal reflux, cramps, and reduced appetite (2640,85961,85702,86043,86074,86075,86084,86089,86095).
Hepatic ...In two case reports, acute cholestatic liver injury occurred after consumption of the combination of whey protein and creatine supplements (46701,90319).
Musculoskeletal ...In one case report, a 26-year-old male experienced fasciitis, or swelling of the forearms, hands, and legs, after consuming the supplement Pure Whey (85895).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, high doses of whey protein may cause tiredness or fatigue and headache (2640). Mild drowsiness has also been reported (86089,86092,86124).
