fruit

I eat loads of fruit. Generally get a bunch of bananas and a bag each of satsumas and apples every couple of days to much away at work.

Same at home as well as melons, pineapples, and the occasional oddity to keep it interesting.

When I eat apples or bananas I am burping for ages afterwards. They just seem to fill me with gas But I still eat them because they are good for me
I'm ok with other things like oranges, kiwi, strawberry etc.

I always feel loads better when I eat a reasonable amount of fruit, but rarely actually do. Bought myself a blender a couple of weeks ago to make diy smoothies, and it's ace! All the goodness of getting plenty of fresh fruit in a quick drink in the morning.

I'm quite the other way, i can eat loads of fruit with no ill effects but the mearest hint of a vegtable has me puking. The smell of cabbages, sprouts or worst of all cauliflower cooking is enought to set me off.

Cherries, grapes and pomegranates...............that's the only fruit I like. I really can't eat citrus fruits, and even the smell of oranges makes me feel ill

On the other hand, I absolutely love vegetables. Can't think of any I don't like.

An apple a day for me. I eat a lot dried fruit as well (can be bought in large quantities thus reducing trips to the shops) dates and raisins mainly.

I can eat fruit, veg and meat, does this make me the odd one out on this forum of freaks and weirdos?

Today I think it'll be banana, apple, raw carrot, pie for lunch, salad, steak and tatties for tea. With possible choccy bars and packets of crisps. And some beer/wine/tea/coffee.

A few weeks ago I tried half a banana and survived with only minor tummy ache and managed a full apple yesterday with some discomfort immediatly afterwards, major gut rot during the night,However, it actually tasted quite pleasant.

Well this morning the wife sneaked some strawberries into my breakfast. Took all of 3 nanoseconds to spot. They taste disgusting. Thank god I didn't swallow any my guts would have broken out of my body and left the county.

Why do people keep saying that you should eat this stuff when it plainly is not good for my health.

Am I on my own. Or are there others out there scared of sticking their heads above the parapet to say that this fruit stuff is not good for some of us.

Don't get me wrong. I love veg (With the exception of sprouts and broad beans). But nature obviously designed me to be a carnivore

I agree with Ping sounds like you have Fructose Intolerance
