I swear this is what's going on inside me sometimes. What's your take on this? What fruits or other foods do you think would aggravate this problem the most? Would the soft-skinned fruits like berries, peaches/nectarines and the like be worse? What about melons? Would it be better to eat freshly picked fruits- not over-ripe, and limit them? Which fruits have the highest sugar content? What about already fermented or aged products? Yeast included? I had a nectarine- 1/day for three days and my GI system was rumbling and bloating to beat the band (if you know what I mean). Was it the citric acid they contain, the sugars fermenting in my gut, or what? I don't have this problem with apples and bananas. Soy beans seem to be a problem though. Too much dairy seems to get me too- especially cottage cheese. When I don't eat anything, my abdomen is fine(no bloating or gas), but then I experience nausea. Is that due to the extra acid in the stomach produced when nothing is in it, or a blood sugar problem? Thanks for your insight. ------------------

Are you talking possible Malabsorption of Sugars then? Does Malabsorption of sugars seem to happen and Gut Fermentation usually follows?Can you explain the Malabsorption of sugar process again- i.e. why this occurs?------------------

I guess I have an open mind so I will take both of your suggestions and ponder them. I only know at this point that I should probably stay away from over-ripe fruits and for some reason particularly nectarines and peaches now; (darn, they were my favorite!) Thank-you both for your input. It can all get very complex. Sometimes I wonder just how good my enzyme production is. ------------------[This message has been edited by moldie (edited 09-10-1999).]
