i eat a lot of avocados..last year i had to stop for a while cause i developed gastritis and they gave me horrible reflux. now i can tolerate them better in my upper GI but when i have a BM the stools are loose and float. could this be a gallbladder or malabsorption problem? what can i do?

Avocados are high in fat (15% by weight) and fiber (about 4% IF and 2% SF by weight). Many individuals with IBS have problems with avocado. I can only eat small amounts of avocado at a time. How much are you eating with a meal and what are you eating them with?

It not uncommon for individuals with IBS not to be able to handle alot if any avocado. If you had a malabsorption problem generally speaking you would notice it with a number of foods not just one.
