Starch found in things like rice, potatoes, bread, etc is composed of long chains of glucose sugar molecules. However, I have never heard of glucose or white/brown sugar being an IBS trigger. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I agree       #324924 - 02/18/08 07:38 AM Edit Reply Quote Jordy Reged: 08/12/06 Posts: 2095 well, all I know is too much sugar constipates me and gives me problems. I can't afford to eliminate all starches. I don't seem to be the only one who has a problem with sugar. -------------------- IBS-C with pain and bloat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I agree       #324933 - 02/18/08 08:32 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA It quite unlikely that the sugar is causing constipation. It is 100% absorbed into the blood stream in the small intestine. Constipation occurs in the large intestine. It is more likely that something else in the foods which contain the sugar are the problem. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I agree       #324943 - 02/18/08 10:06 AM Edit Reply Quote DianeM Reged: 12/05/06 Posts: 173 Loc: Kentucky I have the same problem with sugar Jordy. I get immediate gas and end up constipated every time I try to eat something with white sugar. I just avoid it now. But brown sugar doesn't bother me. Can't figure that out, but some things I've stopped trying to figure out.
