Ok this probably sounds kind of silly. But I went to the doctor yesterday and mentioned I had IBS. He suggested that I eat a lot of "p" fruits. When I asked him what he meant - he said fruits that start with a p. Supposedly pineapple is supposed to be really good for you?? Is he crazy or right?

Plums!!!

Don't forget plums!

I think that's what I was thinking of when I said prunes. Prunes come from plums, right?

And I guess pumpkin too, since pumpkin is technically a fruit.

Do prunes come from plums? Hmm... I didn't know that! What, are they dried plums?

Plantains!

And isn't there something called "prickley fruit"?????

LOL- Thanks for the brainstorm guys! So I guess he isn't completely crazy, just mostly.

That's so hilarious! If you're eating all those why not eat some apples, mangos, and bananas too??

Actually, pineapple and papaya both contain enzymes that aid digestion. Also, pineapple is the one fruit that almost no one is allergic to.

However, I do think your doctor and every doctor in the universe should be trained to say "soluble fiber" every time they hear "IBS". You know, like word association??!!
