Hi,
Have you tried the FODMAP diet? http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml I've found combining the principles of the EFI, with the above diet, has significantly reduced my IBS symptoms.

Good luck on the fructose free diet! I hope that works out for you. Small amounts of salad can be OK if eaten after a meal of SF. I hope it works out and let us know how it goes!

Welcome to the board,
Check the first FODMAP link in my signature to an article written by a dietitian. It has a section that explains what is meant by a low excess fructose diet for managing GI disorders such as IBS.
At the bottom of the article is a table. One of the columns is labeled "fructose". The top portion of the column listed foods to avoid the bottom part lists are friendly foods.
If there is something you don't understand please ask more questions.

The link to the PDF article does not contain a particularly good explanation of a low excess fructose diet. The one I directed you to is much better and it puts in fructose context with other know problem foods for GI disorders.
Generally speaking vegetables don't have excess fructose. This more typical for some fruits such as apples, pears and mangos as listed in the table I directed you to.
Salads are unsafe because they contain uncooked veggies that are high in insoluble fiber. Read what Heather says on this web page
"Traditional green salads, a trigger food due to their high insoluble fiber content and typically oil-based dressings, are best eaten in small quantities and only at the end of meals, never on an empty stomach.
For salads that can be safely eaten as meals in their own right, try delicious alternatives like Summer Chicken, New Potato, and Green Bean Salad, Roasted Sweet Potato Cider Salad, or Thai Rice Noodle Salad with Shrimp and Mango."
Avoid the manago because it has excess fructose.
