Does anyone have trouble with apples? Thought it was because they had the peel and were even raw. The day before yesterday had a peeled apple which I cooked. Can see now this had me reaching for the Immodium. Too late to help me today however having looked back over my food diary am having a repeat performance alongside the nausea and the sweating. Bananas are fine but think it may be because an apple contains more fructose.
Thanks for reading my ramble.
Hmmm. That’s odd. What about other fruit? I like apples eat lots but the only thing that causes what you describe to me is pears. I wonder if it’s the same. I’m bunged up at mo wish I had the other lol. To much milk makes me bad tummy.
Yes pears are also high in fructose. Not sure if they are higher than an apples. Bananas are the only fruit I can tolerate, mangoes and dried fruit even worse.
Hmm interesting. Never tried mango. Dried fruit yes definitely gives me funny tummy. I had bag of nuts and fruit other day had to take some buscopan to get through the day. Was bad.
Have just checked online. Apple's are highest then pears then bananas. Have always been lactose intolerant and since antibiotics five months ago fructose intolerant too. Such a bland diet of fish, chicken, eggs and oats, and wheat is driving me mad. Good luck in your struggle.
Apples are a no no on the Fodmap diet and I think you are right about the fructose.
I always avoid apples and pears. Give me awful cramps.
Grapes and blueberries are about the only fruit I can safely take.
I love apples but they are high FOD Map a definitely make me feel ill, no matter if they are peeled/raw/cooked
Raspberries and blueberries seem to be a lot safer option
On the FODMAP diet it does say for people with ibs to avoid apples
Thanks everyone and for the advice about other fruits too.
Hi Forestina
YES. No apples (and pears) for me - well certainly not raw.
Just about the gassiest thing you can eat. I stay well clear as they really make me bloated. Not on the menu for IBS sufferers
However stewed apples do have a amazing cleansing properties - kill all the bugs off - so I won’t rule a little out occasionally.
Hope that’s helpful.

It sure is. Like stewed apple but giving all apples a wide berth for now, but thank you.
Yes I do - By keeping a food diary I found that I must be fructose intolerant am much better now I avoid fruit and syrup type products
Indeed. Just feels like a double whammy when you are lactose intolerant too. Cooking from scratch for one can be expensive.

Thank you that is so helpful. Did have trouble with peas. Seriously thought I was suffering anxiety, well I am but now there is a logical reason it is all starting to make sense. Can cope with potatoes without their skin but carrots don't seem good either. Think I will stick to leafy salads as have had a reasonably good day. Will continue with my multi vitamins too.
Hope all good with you and thank you again.
Apples are a definite no on low FODMAP. So are peas. I don’t eat potatoes either. Causes too much wind for me. I have seen quantity of food is as important as what you eat. How much you eat can easily make a low FODMAP food high FODMAP. I follow the monash university app for FODMAP. They clearly have prescribed the quantities of food to be consumed. Makes it a bit easier to follow.
Hi laxmik,
I'm on the fodmap diet too from the hospital with dietician support. The app I have says potatoes are OK. .
I agree that the amount is important. ..eating too much puts stress on your bowel.
I hope the diet has worked for you.
Keep on keeping on
yes. No apples for me. Not even a quarter. It's one of the few foods which I cannot juggle towards a certain treshold ("half a slice of white bread + a handful of potato chips" or "20 cc of yoghurt". Not both.)
Banana is fine (I need them for the Kalium)(= Potassium for US people). As is lemon juice. I crave it!
Yes - I love them but can no longer eat them. They make my IBS worse and are my enemy now.
Yes I scowl at them now on the supermarket.
Good for you! They are no longer your friend.
Hi
Yes I've always had stomach trouble with apples. I've since discovered that they are very high fermenter in your bowel and I've been advised by a dietician to stay away from them. I'm on the fodmap diet from the hospital with dietician support.
I get like that with apples think it the acidity on a already raw sensitive stomach.
