I completely understand why people are afraid to try foods and prefer to ask. Of course they want to avoid pain. The unfortunate thing, I think, is that every one of us can have a different reaction to the same IF food. It's a really tricky zone. Some would tolerate something just fine, and the next couldn't tolerate a teaspoon of it even if it's cooked, peeled, mashed and pureed.
It's going to be a risk anyway - just because one person is fine with it, doesn't mean the person asking is going to be fine. So taking a poll in my opinion is not a real good measure - you simply have to try it yourself in the safest way possible. It's just the sad reality of IBS. The good news is we have a wonderful website (thanks to Heather), have good guidelines and tons of support. We're all in this together, just trying to help each other out in the best way we can.
