I am having a hard time finding any kind of fruit that wont give me pain. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I don't do well with watermelon, but honeydew, cantaloupe, blueberries, blackberries, pears, raspberries are all find for me. Recently, I learned that if I take the seeds out of the blackberries (I put them in the blender, then strain), and add some Splenda and knox gelatin (3 envelopes to about three cups of juice), it makes a wonderful dessert that tastes exactly like fresh berries. Cool Whip on top makes it extra special.

I eat cantaloupe, blackberries and pears.
Splenda kills my bladder. I wonder why?..
But I do hope you find a fruit you can tolerate.
When I was "normal" (pre IC) I couldn't eat watermelon w/o going to the bathroom a zillion times. So ever since my dx I've stayed away from it! :dizzy:

I can eat cantaloupe, watermelon, pears, honeydew melon, blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. I was thrilled to find that out because raspberries and blackberries are my FAVORITE fruits of all time. :)

I have pretty bad luck with Splenda as well. In fact, I really cannot tolerate any artificial sweeteners at all. We are all SO different!!

Pears, Blueberries, Dates, Raisins,
Coconut (no metabisulfite preservatives, bought at health food store)

Trader Joe's has 100% Bartlett Pear juice (no acid preservatives or other juices added!) There's also a brand of pear juice called Looza at Whole Foods, but that one has a ton of added sugar. (Tasty but supersupersweet!)

Like everyone said, melons and pears and acid free berries are about the only thing that wont affect IC.
Stay away from:
Apples; lemons; cranberries; limes; oranges; tangerines; manderins; grapefruit; pomagrants (I probably missed some)
