I found almost any kind of fruit difficult early on because of the acid content - it all burned - even strawberries and bluberries. Citrus,even cranberry juice was the worst. Eating fruit was a litmus test for me as to how my healing process was going.
Be sure that you're drinking 2-3 liters of water each day.
You're still way early in Post Tx and still experiencing the radiation build up side effects. All in all you're doing remarkably well - be patient - this too shall pass.
