Has anyone heard it is no good to mix sweet fruit with tomatoes and cucumbers and....

I only really enjoy sweet fruit and I was throughing in my tomatoes and cucmbers so to get those types of nutrients into diet until I heard sweet fruit is only fruit digesting in small intestines.Tomatoes and others digest in stomach,thus causing digestion problems.

I can only do so much!! Has anyone heard this about dont mix tomatoes,cucumbers and...... with sweet fruit?????????????????????????

Also,if you only truly enjoy sweet fruit but you love that and nuts and avacodoes is that ok to live off or am I doing my body a true disservice by not eating non sweet fruit.

yes, i've read this with some food combining books i have

i generally only eat sweet fruits solo as they digest easily on their own (20-30 mins for me)

if i combine them with other foods and non-sweet fruits i get terrible and immediate gas

i only add non-sweet fruits to my smoothies now

however, if you're not experiencing any digestive issues...hmmm...maybe don't worry about it?

Hmmm... interesting! I have added cucumber to my green fruit smoothies in the morning and have not had any adverse effects. This is good to know though!

I heard if they are BLENDED together, no digestion problems as they are already broken down. If eaten whole, then it can be a problem.

According to what I've learned, because tomatoes and cukes (along with avocado and bell pepper) are botanically classified as fruit (fruit-vegetables, if you prefer) they can be combined with any kind of sweet fruit without adverse digestive distress. However, if you're eating melon, please eat if alone, and before any other fruit. It's the fastest digesting food on the planet and you wouldn't want to slow down it's 20 minute journey through your stomach.
