Hi! And welcome to the boards Obviously you can eat some fruit a bit later. I'd start with the what to eat when you can't eat anything diet (found in Heather's diet info if you click the links at the home page of the website). Read all Heather's info thouroughly. I actually printed most of it off so I could look at it whenever I needed to. This mostly consists of bread, pasta, plain vanilla cake etc. It's a bit boring but only for a couple of days to stop all the dreadful attacks. Then when you're feeling better you can start to add stuff in and try some of the recipies in the recipie board. Fruit while generally good for us is mostly insoluable fibre which causes us IBS'ers a lot of problems if we don't eat it with a soluable fibre base. Apple sauce if you can't give up the fruit altogether is probably the safest. Hope this helps and get really well acquainted with Heather's information. At the top of this board is also a sticky post with info on safe brands of food to buy at the shops.

NOT fruits and vegetables!
