Apples and applesauce contain more of the sugar fructose than the sugar glucose.

In some people the excess fructose - a high FODMAP - cannot be digested and it passes quickly to the colon where it acts as fast food for the bacteria that live there.

Bacteria produce gas when they ferment excess fructose. This can result in a worsening of IBS symptoms for all IBS subtypes.

For a good overview of the FODMAP diet see this article by Kate Scarlata - a RD with IBS - who specialises is very knowledgeable about the FODMAP approach
