Yes, but for canned/frozen is cheaper, easier, more convenient.
1) Are canned/frozen fine for our purposes?
2) Can I have a list of safe fruits/veges

Fruits are much better than rye bread! yuck
There is no reason to avoid any fruit and almost any vegetable. My cautions are grapes and melons which tend to cause bloating. For IF fruit, citrus fruits are best. I have posted this list before but here goes.
Top to bottom safest to unsafest fruits:
(banana for some)
mango and papaya
canned peaches and applesauce
canned pears, oranges, grapefruit
berries, pineapple and kiwis
peaches, plums, nectarines
peeled apples and pears
grapes and melons (watermelon seems better than other melons)
That is not a scientific list! but just sort of my experience. There are other fruits too.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Prepared fruit isn't necessarily cheaper. Part of what you pay for is peeling and chopping. A pineapple costs $4 but you can get several servings out of it. I eat them so much I can cut one up in 60 seconds.

I eat can fruit I buy peaches that are in 100 percent juice. At first I use to get out the portion I wanted to eat then I would rise them off to get any juice off of them. and I even found can strawberrys that are good. I buy frozen fruit as well blueberries & strawberrys. hth

.. then I recommend getting a breath test http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_malabsorption.
There`s no sense in limiting your intake of fructose if you don`t actually have malabsorption.
