I think Syl or others will give more detailed and authoritative feedback, but avocadoes are not recommended on the FODMAP diet, and blueberries and strawberries are high in IF so I'd be careful with those.

what I have far more experience with is how to lose weight. I recommend eating plenty of small meals throughout the day as frequently as you possibly can and as small portions as possible, key is being careful never ever to overeat/binge.

I seem to be pretty limited with fruits/veggies since I may also be a fructose malabsorber. The blueberries/strawberries are definitely high in IF, so I tried to combine them with a SF base that I seem to do okay with, oatmeal. Oatmeal isn't the best SF base out there, but is there any better one to combine fruits with? I would love to hear how other people get fruits/veggies into their diet. I love to eat them, and struggle with this. Especially since either the IBS or the fructose issues seem to rule out all of them.

I didn't know avocadoes were a problem on the FODMAP approach. Do you know the reason (i.e. fructose, etc)? Avocadoes aren't perfect for me, but aren't that bad at all while I'm eating them. Since I'm IBS-C, it might be affecting me hours, or even days, down the road and gets difficult to pinpoint.

I have an extremely detailed food log for the past month, broken down with all symptoms and foods eaten, stress levels, etc in half hour segments. But since I'm still relatively new to this, there is so much information to absorb and so many variables in my diet that it's tough to pinpoint everything yet.

I lost about 40 pounds in the past year, while I was trying to GAIN weight. I definitely need to put some of that weight back on
