With all the wonderful summer melons in the market I was wondering how people tolerated them. I haven't been brave enough to try any yet.
Any words of wisdom out there?
Thanks,
Leigh

Leigh, I personally cannot tolerate MELON period. I love it, for years I have kept watermelon cup up in plastic containers continuously all summer. All of them give me EXTREME FLATULANCE ( I wont even use the word gas here).
Melon is the biggest thing I miss about summer.
Maybe someone will have a tip that will help both us enjoy our fruit!! gayla

I don't really have a tip per se, but I can eat a small amount of melon AFTER a meal. I haven't tried having too much though because I know it's not always well tolerated. But one sliver or a few little chunks has never hurt me.

Melon is totally out for me- except one or two bites after dinner- but peacehs- the warm, juicy summer ones- are a bigger trigger for me than dairy...Any suggestions on how to enjoy htem?

I love your sign Leigh............I've been thru Jean a million times and never noticed it.

No skin for me on anything. But, I wonder how they would do,if we cut them into tiny peices, put them in a small pot, cooked them down a little, with a some bsugar maybe?
hmm, if cooked veggies work, would cooked fruit work?

The cooked fruit after the soluble fiber of course.

I'm able to eat melons fine, though I've never eaten more then one slice at a time so I don't know what would happen if I did that. Other then that, I try not to eat *too* much fruit each day anyway, it's hard though cause I love fruit/melons!

Thanks everyone for the responses. Makes me pretty nervous about even trying it in tiny amounts. Maybe when I'm super stable and have no plans.
Thanks again,
Leigh
