Does too much fruit cause bloating, constipation, and gas? i notice on days that i eat little fruit that my bloating is gone completely.

See low FOD-MAP diet: Yes, as can many healthy foods. You are well advised to look up the low fod-map diet on the internet and make appropriate dietary substitutions to reduce gasiness and bloating. However, constipation adds a new dimension to your complaint ; suggest dysmotility of the gut. Has ibs been considered; has your doctor checked a food diary to identify offending ingestants; ruled out malabsorption issues?

Gas/ bloating perhap: Some fruits contain fructans and fructose which are sugars that can be difficult for some individuals to digest thus resulting in increased intestinal gas /bloating. They are more likely to cause loose stools than constipation.
