Fruit: Be cautious with fruit
consumption, as there are strong links
between fructose malabsorption and IBS.
Make sure you peel all fruit, avoid what
you can’t peel (like grapes and cherries),
and eat your fruit as ripe as possible. You
should also avoid fruits that have seeds
and a rough exterior (like berries).
Although no one knows why for sure,
many IBS sufferers report increased
symptoms after consuming citrus fruits,
so we recommend avoiding those as well.
Finally, dried fruits and fruit juices pack
too much sugar into a small package for
folks with serious GI disturbances.
Nuts and Seeds: Avoid all nuts and
seeds. They can be profoundly
inflammatory in the intestinal tract,
mostly because of their physical
structure. (They can “scrape” the
intestinal lining, causing discomfort
when inflammation is already present.)
