Has any one run across an alergy to fruit and I mean all fruit-Bananas, pears, peaches, grapes, melons?
Not right after eating the fruit but an hour or so latter I get severe cramps in the intestinal area and have to lay down and ride them out I have a urge to do a bowl movement but it dosn't happen for a while. depending on how much I have eaten is the time it takes to subside and when it does it is a very explosive runny stool. Then I am ok ,wiped out but ok. This started about 15 mo ago during my 8th month of pregnancy. I do have a similar problem with dairy but with dairy the diareha lasts a lot longer. Sorry to be so crude. If any one has any idea what this could be or has heard of anyone with it let me know. I just saw the Dr and the CBC and MET showed nothing. Thank you.

Sounds like the flora and fauna in your digestive tract are WAYYYYYY out of whack! Most dr.s don't deal with nutrition, but perhaps they can refer you to a nutritionist. There are some relatively simple steps (plus time) that you can do to get back on track, but it would take some help from a professional.

Sounds like IBS to me.
Check out the posts on the IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) board. I'm a sufferer and have to stay completely away from fruit. i have the opposite problem, I think, i get severe cramps and constipated for days if I eat fruit due to the insoluble fiber. Try eating soluble fiber before consuming fruit, like oatmeal, rice, or pasta, and try to limit your fruit juices. That might help.

Thanks Angiline. I have looked into IBS and don't belive it is it is more like an allergy or intolerance.

Ameobic parasites/bacteria live on sweet foods, such as carbohydrates/starches/fruit. Anything that is turned to sugar in the bowel will enable the infection to multiply. In path labs when testing for infections one of the ways to get bacteria/parasites to grow is to use rice starch as the medium.
12 months after becoming ill I was diagnosed with a hard to detect parasite. The medical profession do not recognise infection as a cause of IBS, which is why so many people are diagnosed with IBS instead of having rigorous stool testing to rule out the possibility of infection.
