I have been cutting up pineapple for my kids lunchboxes but am still hesitant to try it. I am loving rockmelon though.

I can't eat an apple but can manage the puree with oats - go figure!

I am over bananas though - four of them are looking at me needing to be made into banana bread for the kids! LOL

Hi Lia,
I can manage a small amount of ripe pineapple each day. It has good digestive enzymes. A lot of people can only manage cooked fruit also. I tried a peach and am ok with that. Tomorrow an apricot. Not sure if I'll brave nectarines or peaches but will try raspberries next week. They're supposed to be good for GI issues.
Can you manage any berries or kiwi?

I have tried berries (not keen on them) but I have had kiwi fruit in a fruit salad (watermelon, strawberries, rockmelon, grapes) all in the size f a small cup. It was very refreshing!

I think I blew it tonight though. Adding to my stomach problems I have sinus headache issues, vertigo and a slipped disc causing sciatica (falling apart - dh keeps joking he wants a refund) so I had what normally would make me feel better... a can of pepsi... I was desperate for some relief and my stomach was not feeling bad. It tasted delicious LOL but now I am paying and swallowing gastrogel. It was stupid but it did make my sinuses feel better. It is just a little reminder that I am not better and I have run out of honey again!

woah. pepsi for sinus? I suffer with sinus but never thought of pepsi. MInd you i'm not much of a fizzy drink girl...unless its bubbly! (Not now though)
I'm lucky with fruit as I eat gob loads every day. My normal breaky is fruit, yoghurt (full fat), lsa and a little meusli followed by rolled oats and honey. Yummo.
I hope the tummy settles soon. These things are sent to try us and make us aware who or what is really in control. Hang in there.

For sinus, try sticking your face over a bit of simmer water (hot poured like tea without the tea is best) and keep your head covered by a towel (old theater trick)- steam it out! That usually helps me or a bit of saline.

Thanks Ladies. I have one of those aromatherapy steamers that I generally use but the Pepsi makes my head clearer - must be the caffeine :-) Stomach is not too bad today - not as bad as a i thought it would be. I am just tired and want my old habits back.

i know what you mean. I hope I don't give in to all the temptations when I go home for Christmas. Watching people eating real food for 2 weeks will be challenging I'm sure. Boxing Day will be hard as mum makes special once a year salads and of course... I can't eat salads. Arrrggghhh.Christmas Day will be easier for me of all things. Hope you're back on track really soon.

Thanks Cass & Ravenfish.

I am dreading Christmas food. I skipped my work Christmas party because I didn't want to be in that situation. Christmas day is full of my fav food - seafood and tarty sauces. I wonder how prawns and gastritis go to together??? LOL

we have the traditonal dinner so i'm good with chicken and vegies roasted. won't have pudding though. Am going to try prawns maybe while i'm home. When I say try I mean eating half or one depending on the size. Any one else got ideas on prawns?
