This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do you have malabsorption issues or do you have an intolerance? If it's a malabsorption, you can cheat a little by adding glucose.
The nutritionist in the hospital recommended to look into Elstar apple varieties. If they're not available in your area, I'm sure you'll find something similar :)
I think it's intolerance. I'm autistic so of course I have IBS. It seems like I just get worse at digesting things as I get older. I went to a GI doctor years ago and got a list of foods which commonly cause issues for people with IBS, and apples are on the list.
I will look into Elstar apples. I appreciate your response! Apples are my favorite fruit, and there's just no replacement for that crunch.
I grew up on a farm with my grandparents as (the only) neighbors. We had a few apple trees behind the house and my grandma used to preserve them and I swear on some days it was nearly the only thing we ate. Apples are awesome!
Feel you on the IBS and getting older part. Having to mask all the time (C-PTSD here) is definitely not helpful. I hope you find an apple variety you can.. tolerate enough to enjoy ᕦ(ಠ_ಠ)ᕤ
