Hello
A few days ago, i was reading a page on this site(not a post on the message board) where the issue of Fructose was being discussed. It stated which of the citrus fruits were less harmful and had some comments about the stone fruits etc. Does anybody know whick page i am talking about?
Thanks

I made the posting and I cannot find the link either but I know it is there somewhere. 
Here is the list of fruits with glucose in balance with or in excess of fructose
Stone fruit: apricot, nectarine, peach, plum (note these contain sorbitol)
Berry fruit: blueberry, blackberry, boysenberry, cranberry, raspberry, strawberry
Citrus fruit: kumquat, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mandarin, orange, tangelo
Other fruits: ripe banana, jackfruit, kiwi fruit, passion fruit, pineapple, rhubarb, tamarillo

The list of fruits was compiled by a group in Australia that devised a diet for individuals that have problems with fructose. I have not tried all the fruits they say are ok. I eat semi ripe bananas, deseeded kiwi fruit and some berries. I find that the citrus fruits contain a bit too much IF for me.
Like you I found I had problems melons, manago, papaya, apples and pears. This gave me a clue to my problems with fructose. The removal of foods with excess fructose was the last modification that I made to my diet. It took me 2 years to figure out what the problem was after I had adjusted my SF/IF intake which made a big difference too. Within a week of removing high fructose foods I noticed a dramatic reduction in pain and D. However, I still have to be very careful of other triggers such as IF, fats/oils and GI stimulants.
Good luck
PS - I found one of the links
