    >The commonality in ALL allergies related to food are proteins. Even though bananas are low in protein, it doesn't take much to be sensitized to an allergen.

    allergies to two different foods usually don't have anything in common.

    Source(s): i'm allergic to bananas and also to kiwi and my doctor said there's nothing similar to the both of them and i'm allergic to each individual one in itself
