Does the fermentation take place specifically with animal products? What are other digestive problems that may invite someone to consume fruit away from meals?
P.S. My question comes from an Italian notion that fruit should be consumed away from meals

I wonder if it's a question of animal products in conjunction with the fruit or if it's a matter of other digestive issues or a combination of both that has this effect. It would be interesting to know if nutrient absorption is affected as well.
