<p>I was just listening to some Peatarian podcasts and heard a caller question about fructose : he said he improved his digestion a lot by eating pure fructose, and it made him tolerate all kinds of carbs like orange juice and soda.</p> <p>Now I've experienced a similar thing : since eating a crapton of fruit I don't have bloating anymore. I didn't eliminate any food, just started to eat way more fruit.</p> <p><em>Did anyone notice the same thing, and is there an explanation for this?</em></p>

<p>I eat 100% paleo but some days I down fruit like i'm a fruitarian.. One thing i've noticed is that I never experience digestive problems after eating lots of fruit.. But upon the next morning, I take 4-5 large surprisingly easy shits then continue on my day feeling like I just shit everything awful out of me and feeling pretty good in general once the initial shock wears away. LOL I personally don't know any fruitarians or fruitarians that smoke cannabis but word of warning here, the combination wasn't meant to be. </p>

<p>Hi, Korion! As you probably know, I'm a champion of including fruit in the overall mix of foods. </p> <p>I definitely had a bloating problem on SAD with or without fruit. On whole foods, I still have mild-to-medium bloating if I hit starches such as rice/sweet potato too hard.</p> <p>Fruit, on the other hand, gives me no bloating at all. The only thing that's made me wary of massive quantities is blood glucose spikes--if I eat a lot of pineapple, say half of a whole one, I'll have a sharp bg spike above 140 at one hour. By 2 hours I am back to 100 or lower, but recent info seems to indicate the brief peak above 140 is bad so I've been mixing fruit with dairy or eating it with meat and vegetables to moderate the spikes.</p> <p>If I weren't checking my bg, I'd be swearing I never felt better than I do when eating tons of fruit. But ...</p>

<p>Oh absolutely. Fruit has done some amazing things to my digestion. The improvement has been pretty dramatic.</p>

<p>I am so far from an expert, but here are some theories...</p> <p>Maybe the bioavailablity of minerals and vitamins in the fruit/fruit juice has improved your digestive health. (Like magnesium, potassium, vitamin c...)</p> <p>Maybe the added acid has helped your digestion.</p> <p>Maybe the fructose/higher sugar levels helped you liver (if we are going with peat theory) and you are functioning better, so digesting better.</p>

<p>Not I. Basically cutting fruit out of my diet has been the best thing I've done for my digestion in a long time. Isn't it interesting how different we all are?</p>
