Watermelon leaves me wondering.
Watermelon is high in fructose. It is not suitable for a FODMAP Diet. See "Eliminate Foods Containing FODMAPs" from the ibsgroup.org
Watermelon is low in pesticides. It is rated #12 on the Clean Fifteen.
Watermelon is one of the few foods rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. See my post entitled "Does Lycopene improve the symptoms of CD?" Also see "Watermelon Packs a Powerful Lycopene Punch" from the U.S. Dep't of Agriculture and "Watermelon beats tomatoes in lycopene stakes" from NutraIngredients.com
