High fructose corn syrup will definitely be on the ingredients list. It is usually up at the beginning, unlike sucralose, and after a while your eye will pick it out in an instant.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I live in Southern California, so I eat San Francisco Sourdough bread. It tastes great, has one gram of fat, one gram of fiber and no HFCS. It is great with an eggbeater omelet.
I don't know where you are located, but here; French and Sourdough white bread are the best.
Good luck!!!

I had a question about buying breads.
I usually get the prepackaged bread, usually something like Pepperidge farm Rye bread.
The reason I do this is because normally it either does not have HFCS or if it does it is lower on the ingredients...and I know what is in the bread.
Bakeries do not always tell what you is in the bread, they can have HFCS or dairy or worse.
I always thought it was fine to get pre packaged bread, just try to get something without a lot of HFCS, either without or lower on the ingredient list, and it would be fine.
Good rule?

glucose-fructose is HFCS....as those are the two ingredients in HFCS...so watch out for that as well

If bread has HFCS but towards the bottom or middle, is it likely not a big concern?
Thanks.

If you do not suffer from fructose malabsorption then it does it matter if HFCS is the first, middle or last ingredient it probably won't act as a trigger.
If you do suffer from fructose malabsorption then it could matter. Some individuals cannot tolerate one excess gram of fructose (about 1/5 tsp) while others can handle a quite a few grams. Furthermore, fructose problems can be accumulative. For example, eating a small amount of excess fructose a couple of times a day for a few days can produce pain, gas and bloating.

There are two generally accepted ways.
1) a breath test. it has to be arrange by your doctor, however, it is not readily available.
2) exclude all foods that contain more free fructose than glucose from your diet for at least one month and see how you feel.
I was diagnosed using the second method. Within 48 hours of removing high fructose foods I noticed a siginificant change in pain and D (it can also produce C). It took me a couple of years to figure out how much excess fructose I could tolerate.

Isn't that hard to do, I mean it's simple to eliminate dairy in that you know what dairy is and the ingredients, most of the time.
However, how does this translate with fructose, what on labels and restaurants, hints, do you look for to see?
