And how much torture are willing to inflict on your innocent colon to enjoy it ? My favorite today is Mango, but I'm sure WE will be paying the price tonight !

Lately, I've been on a plumcot/pluot kick, which are hybrids of peaches and plums, and very sweet. I'm currently in remission, so no issues with fruit at the moment.

Certainly, enjoy the occasional guilty indulgence, as uc robs so much from us as it is. It can totally be worth an extra bm or two the next morning.

Cherries.

In the early years, I couldn't eat them. Thank God I can now.

Cherries here too, surprisingly the one and only fruit that I can tolerate with no problems whatsoever!!

Plums! I eat about 5 per day june - august. Love.

Frozen blueberries, hands down. I pick a ton of fresh ones every year to last me into winter time. I typically freeze them immediately and eat them frozen.

I like pretty much any fruit that is in season, but cherries and nectarines are my favorites. Pre-uc I could eat tons of fruit, now I limit myself to small servings to make them more digestible.
I had some real ice cream yesterday with fresh peaches and apricots on top yesterday and today my colon is making some funky sounds. I haven't had ice cream (dairy based) in two years and it was so good!

MMMMMM, Cherries !! We just finished with those about a week ago. Fortunately, no lasting effects from the bowl after bowl consumed !

I am a fruit maniac I had to slow down cuz I'm scared if I go back I'll mess myself up again
But as long as mango is ripe you might be ok because that is my safe fruit I eat a mango almost every day when in season.
I also find peeled apples and nectarines to be fine
Cherries, grapes, blueberries and watermelon I eat in moderation n
I think I will try pears again next week
I miss strawberries but I think that's a very bad idea
I love guava but I'm not sure if I can avoid all the large seeds
Hmm this thread is making me hungry

Fruit doesn't seem to bother me :)
Posted 8/14/2015 9:49 PM (GMT 0)
Bananas, mandarin oranges, watermelon, and mango are my favourites and don't bother my gut. Peeled apples are ok too, but too much work for the reward.

The only fruit i don't like are banana and papaya. and Red Delicious apples. I HATE those!!!

I LOVED all fruit pre-UC but for the last 10 years it's been un-gut-friendly, partly due to fiber and partly the fructose. So happy that red grapes are gut-approved lately.

I still keep "testing" other fruit with bad results lol. However I have 2 mulberry bushes and this is the second year I made jam and it's OK in small quantities, tart berries may have less fructose. Been experimenting with dairy-free frozen desserts like sorbets with coconut cream or flavored with spices like chai.

Someday I'll make a gluten-free cherry pie (my fave dessert of all time) and let the BM's happen anyway. It's what I consider IBS and not a real threat to my UC remission.

PS Mangos are in season here in FL and my neighbor has a tree filled with a thousand delicious fruits and gives them away. Kills my gut :-(

I hear you on the papaya issue. Those and pomegranates, which just take way too much effort.

I suppose we should all be fans of durian, given their fecal stench , but I for one can't stand it. tongue

In the summer I adore fresh watermelon and cantaloupe. The rest of the year I enjoy grapes and blueberries and strawberries. But my favorite? This moment it's probably watermelon.

Imagardener- I think we are diet twins. Instead of continuing all of my experimenting and testing I think I just need to stalk your posts and copy you. Hahahahaha.:)

I'm with you on that sister !
Posted 8/16/2015 2:15 PM (GMT 0)
But is says "delicious" right in the name...how could they be wrong?
Posted 8/16/2015 2:24 PM (GMT 0)
Red delicious and golden delicious apples are so yucky!
Posted 8/16/2015 3:17 PM (GMT 0)
If I even think about apples or pears, terrible things happen. Bananas are always good with me, and now that I'm in remission I can get back on the strawberry train again. :)

Mango and pineapple. They never really give me problems! Hooray!
Posted 8/17/2015 12:06 AM (GMT 0)
I LOVE plantain, just love the stuff, then I think it would have to be pear, and pineapple, although I have recently got a taste for Papaya, which tasted boring at first, but now I am totally hooked on it.

i can't eat any other fruit than bananas so i consume tons of them :)
