I see that you are breaking it down by food type. Nice. Tells you how balanced your food is.

You really like fruits!!!
Love Smoothies...need to get some more fruits for that.

Have a weirdly odd question...does having fruits give you gas?

:)- not wierd question ; around the clock, good question- I have heard and read that fruits do that.
Usually I don't have a problem with fruits. I have that problem if I have too much milk, so I have soya milk in the afternoons.
I know berries don't cause that, so I try to include berries when possible.
Here's a website which talks about foods that contribute to gas production:)- http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs12.htm

But I think having a retricted diet (avoiding too much food that are mentioned in the website) is for people who have the problem often and also IBS.. Let me know if you have any more questions.

One more reading website mentioned that fruits like pears, apples, peaches might cause gas. Berries should be good..
