When to eat fruit?

7 replies

Mikafan · 07/03/2008 13:02

Does anyone know when the best time to eat fruit is? I recently gave up eating grapes because I'd get stomach pains/bloating after eating them. Problem is I'm getting the same problems again after having a satsuma / 2 plums. They have given me terrible wind (sorry TMI I know ) and my stomach is hurting.

Thanks.

I find that I tend to eat fruit - particularly fruit salad - too fast because it is so nice, and that can be uncomfortable.
I like to eat fruit first thing in the morning, when there's time...

I eat a healthy breakfast of porridge first thing in the morning so don't need to eat fruit then too. I like to eat it as a snack mid morning and mid afternoon but I don't want this pain/bloating

Does no one know why I get these symptoms? Can when you eat fruit make a difference?

So its best not to eat fruit as a snack during the day? You can't eat up to 5 portions of fruit just first thing in the morning though (I know its 5 a day of fruit/veg).

I try & have at least 3 pieces for breakfast...usually as a fruit salad.
Fruit digests a lot faster than other foods,so can make you feel very uncomfortable if you eat it straight after a meal.If you do,try to leave at least 2o mins between meal & fruit.

I do that anyway lullabyloo. I have a bowl of porridge at 7.00 p.m. and a piece of fruit at approx. 9.30/10 a.m. I have lunch at 12 and have some fruit at 2.00 p.m. and still get awful stomach pains/bloating.
