Okay, I lost all my tolerable fruits now that it is colder. I was eating peaches, nectarines, plums, strawberries, etc.
Now, all I see is apples, oranges, and pears, bananas. None of these are safe for me, I don't think. Even peeled. They have lots of natural sorbitol and fructose in them.
But I need my fiber...so what do you guys eat for fruit during this time of year?
Thanks to all!

i eat lots of pears and kiwis also buy frozen fruit, all the berries are available frozen, peache slices are available frozen as well, check out the frozen aisle near the waffles in your grocery store.

How odd! Apples, pears, and bananas are the only fruits that almost never bother my stomach. I wish I had some advice about other fruits to eat. I live in Florida and the grocery stores seem to have most kinds of fruit all year round.

Thanks....but the frozen peaches I find have added acid to them as a preservative for color and that makes me leery. Also, they are all peeled so I'm missing the IF of the peel.
Do you have to peel your pears? BTW, is one serving of kiwi considered 1 or 2? Don't want to overdue it!
Can you tolerate oranges or bananas?
Thank you!

Do you peel or cook your apples and pears?

the flesh of the peach still has fiber, plus all the nutrients, remember those are important too even though most time it feels like fiber runs our life., i tolerate bananas really well, citrus fruit not so much as i used to be really prone to reflux, no tomatoes for me either. See what other company's of frozen peaches you can find, they shouldn't have preservatives added, they are frozen after all. I do not peel any of my fruit or vegetable unless i have to, like with kiwis. i eat a banana or diced mango in my cereal each morning, then i have a pear and a kiwi with almond butter as morning snack, then i have berries with my evening snack each night, different ones each night, i have strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, etc. so i get 3-5 servings of fruit a day depending on the day, and the rest of my day is all vegetables, beans, some breads and seeds. Wow i sound like a health nut. hope some of that helps.
Oh also i don't do well with apples even though i love them, especially the granny smith. they give me bloating big time, even peeled, as sauce etc.

Can you get almond butter in a regular grocery store? I suspect that nuts give me a problem, but I have never tried them the way Heather suggests (in fine pieces). Would you consider them a safe IF if I tried the almond butter on italian bread? I know almonds are good for you and I sometimes feel like I am just eating empty calories when I have a roll with smart balance (I do pair it up with a smoothie, but still...) thanks

i find almond butter in the small healthy section of my grocery store and at the HFS of course, basically if you think nuts on their own are too tough try in butter format, they are not only ground small, they are made into a smooth butter, so no pieces to deal with. You can get almond, cashew, macadamia, hazlenut, peanut obviously, combos of some of the above and seed butters too, sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter and tahini. Check out the HFS store for the best assortment and see what piques your interest, nuts and seeds are so good for us and in butter format they are the safest way to eat them.
