I do know there are others on the board who can and who do eat apple skins. I think Ruchie is one of them and maybe Dalia. I think there are others.
Why don't you just experiment for a week by peeling them and see if you feel any different? I know it's hard to isolate one particular food when you are still may be having problems by others...hard to know if the apple skins are okay or not. Like, if you do peel them, and you still hurt, it may still be better for you, but something else isn't sitting right and you may assume that the peel is okay because you feel the same with or without it.
This is very confusing and I have yet to figure out what is and what is not safe for me.

No, I don't have diverticulitis, at least as far as I know. I've just always found seeds hard to digest, so I figure I'm safer avoiding too many of them!

Hi Bob. I'm not sure about cooked apple skins. I've eaten cooked pear skins without a problem, and I don't think apple would be much different. Maybe someone else has a better idea about that.

..were just like other fruits unless you had diverticulitis. I didn't realize that they may cause problems for IBS different from fruits that don't have seeds.
Anyhow, glad you don't have diverticulits...boy that's a long word to type.

If you look at Heather's list, I think seeded fruits tend to have more IF than less seeded fruits. For example, apples and bananas don't have many seeds, and they're mostly SF (except for the apple skins). Strawberries, etc. are more IF. Just an observation. Maybe that's what bothers me and not the seeds!

I eat nectarines with peels. Can you handle the peach with the skin too?

Kree, You're probably right about pears and apple skins having
the same degree of toughness. My Dad was telling me that you
can easily bake apples in a microwave. I might try that, as
I probably need more IF. Thanks. -Bob

Yeah, thanks Cyndy, that sounds like a good idea. I too am
totally at a loss figuring out which foods if any are causing
me problems. Maybe the gas and BM problems I have result from
the stress of having them. Boy, is that cyclic.When I was at
my sister's place in Chicago for a week at the end of May,
I was eating all kinds of IF, drinking coffee and putting
half and half in it, and feeling much better than I am now.
I just don't get it!  I often wonder if it was just
psychological in that I was with my immediate family and
subconsciously was feeling happy and secure. You are
certainly right about all of this being very confusing. Thanks for your idea. -Bob
