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.
Most of these food don't have peels. Do you ever eat something like a peach or a nectarine or plum or apple that has skin to peel? Would you peel those?
When you say you eat your fruits with "everything" does that mean with all the peel or with all your meals? 
Do the prunes give you gas? Dried prunes scare the heck out of me.  do they help you go?
I'm really confuse about this peeling deal with the C and the pain.

I remember a doctor once telling me to eat dried prunes every day. They gave me HORRIBLE gas. If you're just starting out, and aren't yet stable (like me), I would blend or puree your fruits WITH the peel. It's a much safer way of getting IF.
It's also a trial and error thing. I did this with peaches last week. One morning I ate a peach regularly, skin and all. By the afternoon I had pain and gas. The next day I ate the same breakfast, but peeled the peach. Same results, though not quite as bad. The next day I blended the peach (skin included) into a smoothie, and felt fine that afternoon. So, you may want to try something like that to see if the skin bothers you.
