Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Poll: rank fruit tolerances

Here is a thread for newbies to get ideas. Please rank your individual tolerance of the various fruits (vegetables to follow later).
For instance:
1. Easiest for me is bananas and mango (I don't eat papayas often)
2. then canned fruits or homemade jams etc
3. then peaches, plums and nectarines (skin on or off- they are so smooshy)
4. then berries in smaller amounts with SF first and I think pineapple would go here too and citrus fruits are pretty easy on me as well
5. then skinless apples and pears as long as they are ripe and I eat them slowly, and cherries although I eat them seldom
6. then melons and grapes are the worst. I still eat them but cannot tolerate as much as I want to eat.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
