Fruit mostly all if I peel them or blend them. Exceptions are non ripe ones, kiwi. Vegetables I can't really tolerate unless juiced or blended. Potatoes I can handle.

Well cooked carrots, a few sticks of celery, peeled pears, and bananas are my safe ones. Oh and peeled potatoes. (mmmm, love mashed potatoes)

Potatoes, ice berg lettuce, cucumber, sometimes celery and small amounts of carrots are good. I regularly eat softish apples (empires) and sometimes banana. I may actually be able to eat more, but I must admit to having huge phobias around this, and since I couldn't eat veggies for a long time, they aren't really foremost in my food thoughts.

When in my last flare I could not eat any vegetables. The only fruit I could handle were bananas, since they are soft. I could handle mashed potatoes (peeled).
Now in remission and I am told I can eat anything, per the GI doctor. I have phoibias about eating vegetables. Tomatoes are the worst. The seeds set me off.

I think phobias are a big thing. I ate a chicken Caesar salad before I was diagnosed. It lead to immense pain and came out the same way it went in. Haven't tried salad since.

Why aren't you making fruit smoothies in the morning? Let that go through your intestines first. That should help. You need all those vitamins and nutrients.
I was avoiding potatoes for years, but I can eat them again now, post surgery, but they do still sometimes cause a little discomfort.
I'm forever eating salad, i.e. lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, sometimes peppers, as well as apples and bananas. But I'm not very good on cooked vegetables, and learned to avoid gas causing ones like broccoli and cauliflower last year and still haven't dared to try them again.
I quite often buy smoothies. I keep meaning to start making my own.
