This is not the same as saying high fructose corn is bad for everyone. If she wishes to read more about how any food that contains more of the sugar fructose than the sugar glucose such as high fructose corn syrup, honey, apples, pears, etc and some juices. If she wishes to read more how foods with excess fructose effect individuals with GI disorder such as IBS she can read the information on the web site linked to in the first two items in my signature. I hope this helps. If you or she has more questions just ask -------------------- 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: For Syl: HFCS & IBS       #363403 - 02/10/11 02:46 AM Edit Reply Quote NASCARAFN161 Reged: 01/09/11 Posts: 89 Thanks, man!

However, I believe you had a negative fructose breath test so it may not be as much of a problem for you. -------------------- 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: For Syl: HFCS & IBS       #367688 - 06/26/12 07:27 AM Edit Reply Quote hudlander Reged: 09/26/10 Posts: 198 So HFCS has too much excess fructose which is hard to digest?

Some times it produces diarrhea due fact that it can draw water into the colon acting like a laxative. -------------------- 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     Pages: 1
