Going on the way our ancestors would most probably have eaten, I would have thought it would be a natural thing to do to eat fruit after a protein meal, as this would have been the dessert.
Heh - not sure why you would think that is 'normal'... normal for an American, maybe...
What would be 'normal' to me would be a mon diet - you eat one thing. An apple or 5. Or a deer.
Only modern man has a 5 course meal all at once. This is certainly not the way nature ntended.
Given the anti-oxidant quality of fruit, this would seem a sensible thing to do i.e. To go along and munch up the free radicals produced by eating food.
You need to stop trying to go by your feelings... they have no scientific bearing on reality.
The reality is, fruits do not need to be inundated with hydrochloric acid to be digested - they digest very easily, just from their own enzymes (this of course presumes that they are raw).
When you eat fruits *after* a heavy carb or protein meal, they get stuck, sitting on top of the food that requires hours to digest, resulting in fermentation. This fermentation results in lots of toxins being released.
As I said - some people can tolerate this better than otehrs, but if they continue to abuse themselves this way, it will catch up with them, sooner or later.
I personally don't get any problems from eating fruit after meals,
Not *yet*, you don't - keep it up and you probably will...
neither do I have any problem juicing them all together with vegetables.
Juicing raw and combining is different. Juices are all loaded with enzymes, and will self-digest and be readily absorbed in the intestines, so juice away... some do combine badly, though - like citrus... best to keep them separate...
I also thought that all food was digested in the intestines, but broken down somewhat in the stomach.
No - heavy foods are digested in the stomach, and *absorbed* in the intestines.
Fruits essentially digest themselves (due to their high enzyme content), and are simply absorbed directly, with no 'digestion' required...
