I have had an occassional sensitivity to nuts and fruits but doubt it is an
allergy because many times they do not bother me.   Because at the times
that they DO bother me I also have symptoms of yeast overgrowths, I suspect
that the reason they do is because they serve as a good growth medium for
the yeast.      Anti-yeast measures and a period of avoidance seems to end
the problem.
 
Of course it's possible that the problem might be something that has been
added (or growing on) a particular batch of nuts/bananas/whatever.
 
Just something to consider.
