i thought a smoothie with just fruit and ice would be something good but it causes gas and sometimes D. It is so frustrating to not be able to eat something so simple  i thought these fruits were safe..

Smoothies bother me too.  I wish I knew why.
My only thought is make sure you have the smoothie after a lot of soluble fiber. Maybe try mango instead of strawberries?

You may be experiencing problems with too much insoluble fiber from the fruit particularly the seeds in the strawberries. Try using a banana and other fruit that does not contain seeds and remove the skin.
