Fruit Salad & FP*

[k10]

Okay so I'm ALWAYS terrified of FP! Also of SV*, but since that season is over, FV* is my main concern.

I made a fruit salad this morning & ate it around 11am.. I was super sanitary about it (as always) by cleaning the plastic cutting board thoroughly, washing the fruit, but I can't help worrying that I missed something or didn't clean well enough! My fear is worst because of all the different fruits involved - the more produce, the more potential for FP*

It was strawberries, watermelon, blueberries, an orange, and grapes all inside a hollowed out watermelon rind. It was really cute!

However, I just had a little d* very suddenly when I got out of work at 5 and that made me panic a little. I'm supposed to go out to dinner in about an hour or hour and a half. I'm afraid of getting FP*, but I'm 10 x more scared of it hitting me in a restaurant! What should I do??

Could just be from the cold fruit. Watermelon makes you gassy.

Really? I've never heard that. Even if I ate it like 6 or 7 hours ago?

Watermelon (and any fruit for the matter besides bananas) can definitely caude diarrhea becausr of the juices and pulp!

Apparently melon should be eaten on it's own as it doesn't digest properly when eaten with other foods. Not that it will make you poorly but that may be contributing to the d*.

Could just be the watermelon. It always give my son d, too. Hope you feel better!

I had watermelon yesterday in the fruit salad, and I had it today along with some strawberries. Yesterday I didn't feel well but today I'm fine so I don't know what it could have been!
