Quote: Heather's EFI diet says to have apples/peaches/pears if canned...and NOT to have citrus or pinneapple
Up to 50% of IBSers have problems with these fruits because they have excess fructose (more fructose than glucose). In these individuals these fruits which are also frequently canned in apple or pear juice can cause bloating, gas, bowel spasms and sometimes D if there is enough excess fructose. You might remove these fruits including applesauce from your diet for two weeks and stick with citrus fruits and berries and see if this reduces some of the bloating and C. These fruits don't have excess fructose and they are a good source of fiber when eaten with a good soluble fiber base.
