Since you can eat apples can you eat foods with HFCS?

I can eat apples, but usually peel them.
I can also eat applesauce and honey (however, since I don't like them much, I eat small quantities), so I guess fructose doesn't bother me too much. But I still like to not see HFCS on my ketchup ingredients and things like that, so I am avoiding it where I don't need it (what is it doing in ketchup anyway  )

Sorry to butt in here but just wanted to say I eat applesauce and/or apples with peels every day no problemo (except green apples, dunno why).
I do find that I'm not sensitive to HFCS. I've never looked for it on labels but I'm sure it's in the foods I eat (cereals, prepared sauces, etc).
I have a hard time with oranges, and don't eat them very often.

Sorry to disagree. There are only two main ingredients in HFCS - glucose and fructose. The problem ingredient in HFCS is fructose. If you are sensitive to HFCS then you are more than likely sensitive to fructose in other high fructose foods.
The only way to tell is to eat an apple when stable and see if it give you D.

An apple is nutrition. HFCS is not. I believe I have a limited tolerance for irritating, annoying, upsetting foods and I follow Heather's lead in placing fructose on the "handle with care" list (not on the causal list as you do). I am not going to spend my fructose tolerance on HFCS but I will spend it on actual food.

Very interesting idea. An apple, pear or other high fructose fruits for me means big time D no matter how much nutrition they contain.
Unfortunately fructose tolerance is not something you can accumulate and spend at a later date. I guess we will have to agree to disagree

If one has true fructose intolerance or fructose malabsorption, then no. If one simply has IBS, however, I believe problematic foods such as fructose, acidic foods, sulfurous foods, many of the irritants like alcohol and caffeine, and so on are largely interchangeable and cumulative. With the caveat, of course, that most people have something that just kills them no matter what - MSG for me.
My policy is to spend my gut's limited tolerance for things that annoy it as wisely as possible.
