Default fruit

not a fan. it gives me gut rot so not had any for about 20 years.

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

bananas give me headache





I must stop sticking them up my nose.


Oranges can do to.

I actually don't like fruit, but force myself to eat it sometimes because like you say apparently its good for you

You're not alone, Mr. Wilky. When I was a wee lad my granny used to feed me the "eat apples, they're good for you" talk. So I did. And I used to have major stomach aches that lasted all night long, the ones that simply won't go away for years.

Then I grew up, and like most teenagers started skimping on the fruit. Including apples. And my aches vanished, but I didn't associate one thing with the other.

A few years ago I woke up this fine morning, stumbled across some lovely green apples standing all alone in the kitchen, and since I actually like the taste I decided I'd start the day with one. 2 hours later I was throwing up all over the shop, 15 days later my stomach came back to normal. Oh, btw, it was 1 week till chrimbo, so I had to skip all the treats because I couldn't even stand to look at them

So you're not alone. And my grandmother still tells me "eat fruit, it's good for you"!

Sounds like you may have allergies to either citrus or whatever that sugar is that's in fruit...

If you're not used to eating something then it can give you gut-rot when you do. It you eat it regularly, your gut will adjust to cope.

I love fruit. It's mostly what I eat during the day.
