Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Norah, Just a couple thoughts on this. First - does the diarrhes come when you eat certain fruits or just any fruit? If it comes with certain things you may be having an allergic reaction to them. I know my IBS gets much worse when I eat certain ones - I'm allergic to or have a reaction to bananas, apricots, pineapple, oranges, apples, and a couple more. Second - have you tried starting out slowly instead of eating lots of fruit and veggies? Sometimes, if your body is not used to having them, you will have diarrhea because the body overreacts to them. It may help to start with only one fruit and one veggie and work up from there. Okay, that's my 2 cents for now ;-). I hope you start feeling better real soon. Hugs, a > I've been following this thread on IBS and would like some info. I've been trying to lose weight and eating healthy. I'm finding whenever I go the healthy route and eat lots of fruit and veggies, along with high fiber to lower my cholesterol, I get massive boughts with diarrhea. It's almost as if my body doesn't want me to eat right. Some days it's so bad, I can't do anything or eat anything. It's all I can do to get water into me. Is Imodium helping others with this problem? I was afraid to start taking yet another medication. I'm starting to feel like a walking advertisement for the drug companies... ugggh.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
