Re the citrus: I was told not to eat any of the white part of the membranes from the citrus, but the fruit itself was okay.. I just needed to cut that off meticulously.

Re the grapes: I dunno, grapes were given as an 'okay' if I tolerated it.. I've had some, I just make sure I chew well, and if I have any problem with any portion of the skin, I spit that part out.

I don't make either of them a habit in my diet, due to the sugars and my being diabetic but I've had them on occasion. Last time I had a bit of orange, my pouch didn't like it much and started to ache.. that was after just two small sections.

I've also swiped a small bit of popcorn from Geof on occasion as well with absolutely no ill effects other than my wanting more, LOL.
