Thank you for the information!!
But now I'm really confused..?!
The nausea I get from corn starch, sucrose etc feels like my small intestine is working too quickly (gastrocolic reflex?). I feel movements, pulsation, a circling feeling in my intestines.
I've always thought (felt) the problem isn't my colon, but my small intestine.
Although the final reaction is my colon to slow down..(?)
I'm really confused what this info means to me. How is it possible I can tolorate potato&wheat starch, but no corn?

It is possible that you have an food sensitivity to corn. Perhaps during the preparation of the corn starch a small amount of corn protein remains which triggers symptoms. Corn starch is on the list of know food intolerances
Have you seen an allergy doctor?

Has anyone tried dextrose as a sweetener instead of table sugar? I saw this available and may try it if I find that fructose is my problem.

I use it from time to time. It isn't as sweet as white/brown sugar. It is sold as corn sugar at health food stores.

Yea that sounds like me too. I can eat some banana and veggies I can do potatoes usually.
I would look in to the bacterial overgrowth and really try to cut down on sugar. Thats what I am trying to do, it's so hard for me though. I love sugar. DO you crave sugar often?

Which veggies can you eat?
I eat no (table)sugar at all, because of the symptoms. I've been cutting out table sugar for almost a year now, fructose for the last few months, since I found out the FODMAP diet works. I only use rice syrup and banana as sweets actually at the moment.
I don't really have sugar cravings anymore. I've always been a sugar junkie and I really hate that I can never eat things like (normal) cookies or ice cream. I hate that I can't eat out and just order what I want, have an ice cream or pancake with my daughter.. Or eat things like lasagna or pizza, perhaps I miss those things even more. It really frustrates me.
But even on special occasions, it's 'easy' for me not to eat the good things. The good taste for a few minutes doesn't outweigh the 3 days of misery I'll have afterwards 
But that doesn't mean I'm ok with it, it's very hard for me to accept it. But I guess everybody here feels that way.
I think the sugar craving will subside when you really stop eating it. It's an addiction.
But I use a lot of rice syrup now I'm really scared I can't even tolorate that in the future...

Hmm, yeah that could be..
But I developed all my symptoms at once after a stomac flu. It's all so hard to believe this all came at once!
I haven't been to an allergy doctor. I have had bioresonance testing. He only found sugar and honey to be issues for me.
Regular docs don't really want to/can help me. They say don't know what to do anymore.. (just live with it!!!  )

I've tried dextrose once as sugar replacer in home made waffles. I got the same reaction as I have with fructose (?)
But I eat small amounts of it in processed food (white bread and chicken-filet). That doesn't bother me.
(The dextrose I have is called 100% 'grape-sugar' in the ingredients, I see now?? So perhaps it contains fructose!?)

I really only eat potatoes and squash. I think I need to experiment with more though. Lettuce on a sandwich seems to be ok sometimes.
You should go to the vitamin store and purchase the black walnut, clove, wormwood herbal supplement. It kills any parasites in your system and helps restore intestinal flora. Its really worth a try because I feel like nauseousness from sugar often has to do from bacteria or parasites. Or at least have your stool tested. Not to freak you out or anything but seriously its worth a try!

@ mavera "Dextrose" is a commercial name and "grape sugar" a source-descriptive name for glucose. Both are pure glucose.
Lactose is called milk sugar, fructose is fruit sugar, sucrose (table sugar) is cane sugar...
