It's not a trigger for everyone but a glass (very small glass) of apple or orange juice will have me dashing for the loo for days so I know I can't handle much. A plain orange will do the same. If I do eat fruit I stick to apple (puree'd apple mostly) the occasional banana (I don't really like them much) and sometimes pear. So yes, I pretty much steer clear of fruit. I make up for it with veges though. I can tolerate huge amounts of asparagus, broccoli, broccolini, bok choy, chinese broccoli etc plus all the standards like potato, pumpkin, carrot etc. But that's just my body. It's taken a long time for me to figure out what sets me off the worst. I know chocolate does cause every time I eat it I get the worst rumbles and gas, and fruit big pains and d and bad rumbles and d with high fat meals and whole wheat. Dairy doesn't seem to cause a problem as long as it's low fat, soy is really bad for me. But everyone is different so stick at it and you will eventually notice some things that make you feel really bad and the list builds from there. Hope this is helpful and if you have more questions for me feel free to ask or email me! How are you feeling anyway, these days?
