Do I need to cook them before pureeing them? I was planning on eating them with some vanilla soy yogurt. I used to just chop them up and stick yogurt on top before I had IBS, but I don't think I could just chop them anymore. Any thoughts?

You know, I eat strawberries raw with no problem, but watermelon makes me want to die. Try eating one or two chopped and see.

I eat them raw after SF just fine...just not as much as pre-IBS!

Wash, hull and blend thoroughly. They are delightful! There are also good warmed and often my tummy feels better after they have been heated, first. I love them with balsalmic vinegar! You could make a fabulous sorbet or smoothie, swirl it in with that vanilla soy yogurt. It would be great on safe angel food cake or pancakes/with french toast or in lieu of "not milk" with cereal.
I find that mere chopping is not enough, for me. I experience tremendous pain if they are not really really well blended. I like to combine them, too. Strawberry/mango or strawberry/apple or strawberry/peach or strawberry/nectarine are a few of my berry favourite combinations. Fruit soups are good, too. Heating helps carmelize the sweetness.

I have some frozen berries and this sounds like a wonderful Shabbos treat! What's the process? Thanks Kate *hugs*

Hmm, I don't know... I just chop them up and eat them, even now, and my gut's pretty darn sensitive.
But I don't think you'd need to cook them, pureeing should be enough. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, mashing them and cooking them up with a bit of cornstarch to thicken the juices sounds like really tasty strawberry sauce for yogurt or soy/rice "ice cream". Yummmm.

I chop them up and eat them on cereal or mix with a little sugar to get them juicy and serve over angel food cake with no problems.
In the beginning when I was getting stable, I used to peel them with a veggie peeler to get rid of the seeds. But, now the seeds don't bother me.

I hope this is what you're after. To make fruit puree, take the strawberries, hull them and chop them up. Place them in a saucepan or frypan over low heat and cover with water. Just enough to cover them. Simmer them until they become soft and mushy. Once they are like this you can either leave them as is or puree them or mash them so they're slightly chunky. Hope this helps and mmmm yum, enjoy

They are one of my worst triggers! I love them, but I've learned that every time I eat them, I am in severe pain so I avoid them now.

I forgot to mention that I can tolerate them if I blend them in a fruit smoothie.
