This is because the substances found in bananas contribute in activating the cells that composes the stomach lining, thereby providing a thicker mucus barrier against stomach acids. Another thing is that bananas contain a compound called protease inhibitors that helps in eliminating the bacteria in the stomach that causes stomach ulcers.
