All the so called IBD diets are similar in restricting carbs and sugars, although they have different parameters on amounts and types of carbs/sugars that are allowed. The main focus of the Paleo Diet is eliminating processed foods and cereals. Fruit is permitted. Anything that the ancient hunters and gatherers ate, you can eat. The use of the diet to treat IBD is premised upon the belief that the higher incidence of IBD in the developed nations is due to the more intense processing of foods in those nations.
Rebecca, I have a book on the Paleo diet and it restricts amounts of fruit by grams of fructose. However, I have read a few different books on Paleo diet and some are by authors who have their own spin or interpretation of the diet. These other authors do not limit fruits in the same way or based on the same rationale. So there is, as far as I can see, no "consensus" on the issue. Some fruits have more sugar than others and some would look at that but remember that the Paleo Diet is not a diet that was designed for IBD.

The book I have is a Paleo Diet applied to autoimmune disorders/IBD and it outlines a protocol. The protocol and restrictions are discussed by the author here:

Her limit is 15-20 grams fructose per day in the fruit eaten.

For those of you who are basketball fans, NBA basketball superstar LeBron James went on the Paleo diet during the offseason as part of his training regimen. More about this here:

I happen to be a basketball fan generally and I love the way LeBron plays the game, and I am looking forward to seeing whether his goal of becoming quicker on the court will materialize.
