Hello Syl,

Beano has mannitol in it and I wanted to use it when I ate chickpeas or kidney beans. Have you ever read where mannitol is similar to sorbitol or fuctose. I know I have been reading that sorbitol is harmful to some people who have fructose intolerance just like fructose. Anyway, just wondered if you have encountered BEano and mannitol and what the findings are? Thank again for help. Debbie IBS

Generally speaking I avoid sorbitol and mannitol. They are both difficult sugars to digest. However, one beano tablet weighs about 1/3 gram. Mannitol is the second last ingredient on the list of ingredients. There is very little mannitol in beano. Similarly, there is sorbitol in Gas-X. One of these pills weighs less than a beano tablet. Again there is not enough sorbitol in a Gas-X pill to worry about.

Do you eat egg whites? Which type of milk do you drink, rice, oat? Do you consume soy, nuts? Thanks, Debbie

It looks interesting, however, it repeats most of the information about fructose and sorbitol that can be found in the other articles and web sites that I have posted before. I am fairly sure that peaches are one of the fruits you will have to try and see if it is a problem for you.
