Pages: 1 Lactose/sugar and IBS       #248657 - 02/25/06 06:08 PM Edit Reply Quote johnnie_ruth Reged: 02/25/06 Posts: 3 Loc: Texas Is it possible if you are lactose intolerant can you also be sensitive to sugar? I have just been diagnosed with IBS and I have been changing my diet. I have been staying away from the foods that will trigger it, but what about sugar? -------------------- When life throws you lemons, stuff em in your bra!!

I've never had trouble with sugar, so long as it's in moderation and actually sugar rather than sweeteners. I can also use brown sugar. I don't know about sugar along with a lactose intolerance though. -------------------- *********************** If you're not dead, you've still got time.

I never use sweeteners. Don't like the taste . I do like brown sugar. I noticed today that after I ate some canalope, my stomach started not feeling well and i got that awful urge. Then I went and got a fruit smoothie. It was non dairy and i asked to not have the honey. Again stomache. How long did it take you to get adjusted to the new diet? Did you start to loose weight? I have lost 6 pounds in the last 2 weeks, just from changing everything. -------------------- When life throws you lemons, stuff em in your bra!!

Sensitivity to fructose is something that can happen with IBS. Granulated sugar (and brown sugar) are sucrose, which the body breaks down into glucose and fructose. Honey is fructose, sucrose, and glucose. You may want to do some research on your own of fructose levels in various foods to adapt your diet. -------------------- Melissa Friendship is thicker than blood. ~Rent Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: There are many types of sugars...       #248797 - 02/26/06 03:59 PM Edit Reply Quote johnnie_ruth Reged: 02/25/06 Posts: 3 Loc: Texas Thanks!
