oranges are tough for me. I've had some that haven't affected me when I was very stable, but overall, they make me feel pretty off. A slice or two is OK but I don't think I'll be trying a whole orange for a long time.
As for pineapple, I'm fine with it--but same thing, not a whole lot. I'm a firm believer in everything in moderation! So a slice of an orange is great, but nothing too much for me.
Hope that helps...

If high fructose fruits tend to be "out" and oranges are so hard for everyone, what fruits do you all eat? Especially those with C? I can't do bananas either, I think. 
I've been eating oranges (luv them) and hope that this is not my problem, although I think they just may be now.

I eat a lot of applesauce, or baked apples. They always do well for me. I'm usually great with green grapes as long as I have a good SF base. Also, smoothies with cran juice and strawberries and half a banana are fine. Other than that, I try to stick with veggies...since cooked veggies are so much easier on me!
Hope that helps!

Do you peel the apple first? How do you bake it? Have you ever tried one raw? I know that applesauce and apples are high in fructose.....so not sure I could do those. I have too many food fears.

I hear you about the food fears...it's tough knowing that something you may eat may make you sick. It took me a LONG time to get to where I am. I was diagnosed at 14 and I feel like I just a few months ago got the hang on balancing my IBS. (I'm 24 now). The only fear I give into still is that I only try something new on weekends or on a day off, as I still worry I'll get sick from new things.
As for apples, I do eat the skin. As an IBS-C, I really need the IF. I do eat apples raw, with a bit of PB after like a sourdough roll or something. As for baking them, I either cut them up, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and bake or cut a whole in the middle of the apple and stuff the cinnamon sugar inside. I don't think fructose affects me that much. I do remember times of eating a plum on an empty stomach and being sent home from work b.c I would get so sick... so I try to avoid high fructose items on their own. SF is my best friend, especially sourdough pretzels!
Good luck... I find that once the fear subsides, it makes it easier to eat and enjoy....sometimes the idea of eating something scary causes more anxiety and leads to an IBS attack. I know...vicious circle, right??
Hang in there!

Yes....any feedback helps me. It truly takes a village. I hope more people will still be willig to share.
I have been eating Cara Cara oranges, which are suppose to be lower in acid, so I thought they would be okay. But it looks like only one person can eat oranges. I thought there would be more.
