My gastro dr said Fruit was ok.....I'm just trying to stop the constant diarrhea I've had due to lymphocytic colitis. Another gastro dr has me on steroid meds for a long while.....causing bone loss. Now diagnosed with osteoporosis ! I'm not going back on the steroid rx if I can possibly not do that. In the meantime been doing all I can to rebuild bone & hoping not to lose more.

@susan30 nay I ask what you doing to improve bone density? I am scheduled for a bone density scan and am apprehensive about ny doctor possibly wanting to put me on one of the medications, which I hope to avoid. I do get a lot of exercise which I have heard helps but I am lactose intolerant.
Thanks.

@susan30 you might already know this but in my research, I have found that most fruit contains a high level of fructose (sugar), which can aggrivate the diarrhea. Since I suffer from IC and IBS (partly diarrhea), I go by the Low FODMAP diet: https://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/
They have a list of fruits with the least amount of fructose, as well as a portion amount (if applicable) that are safe. One of the best one's for me is blueberries. Hope this can help!

There are several of us here who would be interested in any bone -building medication you may take. My doctor wants me on Prolia, but top side effects for all these meds is diarrhea, so since that's the form my IBS takes, I'm more than reluctant to take anything. I hope you're able to avoid steroid meds and that this diet works!
