Undigested Dried fruit? Floating Poo!!

[Mary]

Hi everyone havent been on here in awhile. Have been doing well with Crohn's.
I have a question I ate dried apples last night and had severe stomach pains about 2 hours after eating. This morning I went to the bathroom and they came out undigested also everything was floating. Just wondering if anyone has every experienced this.

I can't eat dried fruit for that very reason. Fruit is hard to digest anyway, when it's dried it's even harder. Poo tends to float when it's got too much fat in it, maybe the dried fruit rushed things through before all the fat was digested. Guess you will have to avoid dried fruit in future!

I cant have dried fruit either for that reason.

Dried fruit often has Sulfite compounds as a preservative. Some people do not process this well, and they can trigger asthma attacks in sensitive people. They also are usually very high in fiber which may have its own set of problems for a Crohny.

I can eat them dried fruit in moderation, and apples but not on an empty stomach.

Cant eat a lot of things because of that reason- red meat, dried fruit. etc.

I always wondered why my poo floated. Dang, my education in this disease increases every day.

If your poo ALWAYS floats and always has done, then you are one of the few people who produce methane in your digestive system. Don't ask me where that little snippet came from!
