Author	Topic: some one who can't eat fruit on an empty stomach
monica 09-13-2002 09:06 AM	My boyfriend says that his stomach gets extremely upset when he eats fruit on an empty stomach. He has tried many times with different fruit/juices but they all cause the same reaction! Now he refuses and will only eat fruit AFTER consuming something solid like bread. Is his body just throwing off a lot of wastes into his blood when he eats the fruit on its own?
monica 09-13-2002 09:09 AM	what can he do so that his body will adjust and feel great when eating fruit before anything else?? What are the effects of eating starch before fruit? Is it screwing the diet up?

The first days on this diet I had very soft stools and my stomach was often upset.. Now, after more than 2 weeks, my stools are getting more solid.. Also experiment with different fruits.. Did you try banana as breakfast instead of say organges.. Also make sure to chew the nuts well.. Those might upset the stomach also.. Good luck, Ed
