Have watermelon or strawberries caused anyone else pain and distress?

Yesterday I purchased some fresh watermelon and strawberries. I had about 1/4 cup of the watermelon around noon. About five I had about 1/4 cup of sliced strawberries (with Splenda lightly sprinkled on them). About seven-thirty I was in pain. I dump, but this wasn't dumping. I ached in my tummy and had bad gas for several hours. Around ten I started having (excuse me here) severe diarrhea. I do protein mainly and very little fresh fruit; I'm about fifteen months out from rny and about six weeks out of incisional hernia repair with mesh. Am I doomed not to enjoy fresh fruit, even in small amounts? Do they cause this with anyone else? BTW, no one else in the family had any tummy upsetedness, so it wasn't a bad batch of fruit. Thanks in advance.
