Does fruit cause bloating like other carbs do?

I think it is pretty much common knowledge that increasing carbs makes you retain water, and when you go low-carb you lose a lot of that water. And therefore, if you low-carb most of the time and have a high-carb day, you'll gain several pounds of water weight.

Here's my question: are carbs from fruit the same--do they make you retain water? I've never eaten fruit and WITHOUT eating other carbs in order to observe whether i retain water or not. If i don't care that much about eating low-carb, but i just don't want to be bloated, would it work to eat a lot of fruit on a daily basis, and then eat junky carbs once a week? For example, let's say i eat 3 pieces of fruit every day, and then once a week i eat a slice of cake with sugary frosting...or 3 cookies or whatever (you get the idea). In the past, cookies or cake would have made me retain water because i didn't eat carbs most of the week. But if i had been eating fruit all week (and no other carbs), would i not retain water from the cake? Or would i have just been bloated the entire time from the fruit?

Does fruit cause bloating like other carbs do?

Reading comprehension????? the sentence says, verbatim, i've never eaten fruit WITHOUT eating other carbs. That means if i'm eating fruit, i'm also eating other carbs, such as bread, cookies, cake, whatever. Therefore i don't know if the bloating was caused by the bread, cookies, and cake only....or also caused by the fruit.

I still don't believe you've never just eaten fruit by itself but yes fruit can cause bloating. Fiber will do that

All CHO can cause some degree of water retention/bloating. Especially if you have been on a low CHO diet. Response is highly subjective.

For example, some people get really bloated having dairy. While others do not.

Nothing to really worry about as the bloat/water retention is just temporary.

I see. Basically i was looking for a way to cheat out of the whole bloating thing by eating carbs from fruit all week, and then eating crappy carbs once a week. I hate being bloated for two days after a cheat.
