Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Best fruits and veggies for C

I'm sorry about your bad state........ I totally understand. I have been a C for years and have suffered just horrible isolation and depression due to the physical symptoms. But to answer your question- as far as what I have found- bananas and mangoes are the only fruits I have no bad reactions too. I would always keep the skin off of your fruits/veggies and cook them. Soft and easy to digest is the best and only way my system can handle it. Do you ever try a day of just soft foods, like pasta all day. I have been amazed how eliminating the foods that should make you go has helped me start moving my bowels. It makes no sense, but somehow it works a little better. I would also absolutley avoid ANYTHING that says bran! No way. If your system is like mine, this is like putting a gun to your head. Just try the best you can to relax, I know how awful it is. One last thing....... I know this defies all rules, but I am a severe C- and on my worst days eating very soft cake like stuff (ho-ho's and ding dongs) absolutely soothes my gut like nothing else. I know it sounds crazy, but the sugar and flour are completely non irritating and my gut has something to grab on to to stimulate some peristalsis. I really hope you feel better soon! If I think of anything else, I will let you know.
