s/o dieting

Is there anyone else who has difficulty eating fruits/veggies on an empty stomach?

I cannot eat fruits or veggies without having a carb or protein to go along with it.  If I try, I get the most horrible stomach ache. 

Anyone else like this?

Unless fiber deals a blow to your stomach and not your colon, I don't think it's the fiber.

I think it's the acids and sugars.

Some, but not all.  Bananas I can do.  Some other stuff, not so much.

I get an upset stomach if I eat acidic fruits/veggies by themselves.

It's not bad, but it's not outstanding.  We're trying to steer clear of processed foods right now.  It's not easy with our budget, tho. 

I still can't down a pint of blueberries or cherries or an orange without having stomach aches.

Have you tried the Visalas shakes? They have all your fruits/veggies/vitamins in one shake and it's FDA approved! No, I'm not promoting it, just throwing it out there as a suggestion!
On a side note, I've lost almost 25 lbs from them and it's cut out my unhealthy lifestyle of fatty foods now. I've learned portion control as well by counting calories.

I know you didn't ask for diet advice and I did read that article you posted yesterday, so I might be winning a losing battle, but I've never felt this good about my body image and I plan to keep working hard to maintain.

I eat carrots and apples on an empty stomach when I'm hungover. Makes me belch, but it's one of the few things that I can handle.
