I don't have any problem eating any fresh fruit or berry in moderation. Over the past week I had blueberries and raspberries, nectarines, apples, pineapple and mango, all purchased fresh.

I can tell you from experience that berries and jam or jelly are a couple things that will run right through me. I love pie so I don't care I'll just pick a time when I'm gonna be staying home and eat my cherry or triple berry pie. I don't have a problem with most other fruits.

The good news is that it gets better for most people. There may be certain fruits or vegetables that will forever cause issues. But, it gets better because YOU get to choose whether a food is worth your while. Spinach still goes straight through me, even 19 years post op. I still eat it because I like it. But I don't experience incontinence.

I have no issue with any berry, at all. Strawberries are my best fruit.

Because I did a FODMAP elimination, I know some fruits that make me more uncomfortable. Apples, pears, those bother me, make me puffy. A lot of regular people will get the skitters eating a whole pile of cherries! Or any fruit, in excess, for that matter.

Jan, spinach is one of my best veggies! As is broccoli! Which everyone says is a gas producer; I'm very little bothered by it when cooked. Zucchini is great, too.

And I haven't had leakage in years and years and years. Surgery was 23 years ago for me.

See? We're all different!

You may find that you can tolerate a 1/4 cup of something that is offensive when eaten with abandon. Or you may find that the cherries are ok if paired with something thickening. Don't rule it out, just go slow. Things change over the years.

Thank you for putting it this way, Jaypea. I got a good laugh. Nothing funny about the event itself, of course.

I got a laugh out of that myself.
Permission denied!
Haha.
