I've been reading here about lactose intolerance and the article said only to take dairy with other foods.
I'm thinking, what if it's the same with fruit?
Do you find it easier to eat fruit on empty stomach, or with meals?
Thanks!

In the EFI Diet, dairy is one of the big four trigger foods. The problems with it go beyond lactose intolerance - the proteins are also hard for IBSers to digest. The safe course is to avoid dairy totally.

Except for SF fruits like bananas and applesauce, I avoid fruit on an empty stomach.

As Seggy pointed out, the explanation of how to eat fruit (and why not to eat dairy) under the EFI guidelines takes a bit of reading. Here's a link to an old post that will point out to background reading - just keep following the links. Once you've figured out the basics of the EFI Diet, you can decide if you want to try it. If so, then you can talk with your doctor about trying the EFI approach rather than his.
