If you have Constipation, but also pain, is it better to peel the fruits and/or veggies to prevent pain...or better to eat the peel for the IF? My body isn't responding too well to either way.

I had back surgery (diskectomy) a few years ago, so I know what you mean!! I wasn't strictly following the IBS diet at the time. The anesthesia made me VERY sick and couldn't keep food down for at least a day. But do remember that the anesthesia is going to make you C pretty much no matter what you do. Mine lasted a few days, I remember. Just be patient, and keep taking the MoM! And also do as much walking post-op as you can. A few hours after my surgery they had me walking up and down the hallway outside my room!
Good luck - if you haven't had the surgery yet!

The peel on the fruit would help us go, but also cause more pain, right? What do you experts recommend in this situation? Do I peel my peaches, plums, nectarines, potatoes...or not? I'm not sure how either way effects me as I always have symptoms. But is one way generally the less of the 2 evils?
Thanks

I generally avoid the whole issue by having a smoothie every morning with bananas, pluots, peaches, berries, etc. I have tried eating peaches and pluots w/o peeling them, and regretted it later! The blending DEFINITELY helps.

Do you peel the peaches before you make the smoothie? What type of berries do you use? Do blueberry skins bother you? Bananas don't agree with me at all....constipation, gas, and major bloat. Too bad, I love them!
Is this the only fruit you eat all day? I find it hard to have one in the morning before work. I barely make it on time now.

I don't peel anything before putting it in the blender. That way I get all the benefits of the IF without the discomfort later! I use strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, though not all at the same time!! I base my smoothie on a banana, and typically only add one or two other fruits (perhaps a peach and 2-3 strawberries). If bananas bother you, you could try mangoes. I think those are about the two safest fruits.
Make your smoothie in the morning, but put it in a travel mug and take it with you!
Sometimes this is all the fruit I'll eat during the day; sometimes I'll have an apple in the afternoon. But the smoothie alone is 2-3 servings of fruit, which is pretty good (I think).

Jordy,
As you know, I'm IBS-C/pain and I eat my fruits with everything. The fruits I eat the most are: grapes, papaya, pineapple, mango, strawberries and a couple of prunes a day.
Blessings,
Abi
