Have you found that you have difficulties with some particular fruits? If yes, which one do you suspect are a problem?
If you have problems with high fructose corn syrup and honey then you might have difficulties with fruits that contain excess fructose (i.e more fructose than glucose). Up to 50% of IBSers have this problem. Fruits to avoid include mango, papaya, apples, cherries, dates, figs, grapes (black), guava, honeydew melon, lychee, nashi fruit, pears, persimmon, plumes, prunes, raisins, star fruit, sultana, quince, watermelon. Dried fruits and fruit compotes and juices/jams made of the above fruits in general.
Some safer fruits are kumquat, grapefruit, lemons, limes, bananas, blackberries, boysenberries, blueberries, cranberries, jack-fruit, kiwi, mandarins, oranges, passion fruit, pineapple, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, tamarillo, tangelo.
Careful of apricots, nectarines, peaches because they contain sorbitol which can cause problems for some IBSers.
