If it does not contain any apple or pear juice then it should be fine although as mentioned before it contains some xylitol which is a sugar alcohol.

I buy scotch mints that contain sugar, glucose syrup, natural peppermint flavour, gelatin, color and tragaganth gum. I buy them at the $1.00 store for a $1.00 for 128 grams (8 oz).

I sometimes eat laurel-drops, made of pure liquorice root. It seems to be ok for me.
It should not be eaten in large quantities, because of high blood pressure (but mine is always low).

Pure berry juice (black&blueberries) is not ok for me.
Are there other berries that should be fine (w/o xylitol I guess?)

Xylitol is found in very small amounts in berries. For example, raspberries contain aboput 2.6 mg/100 grams or 0.3% and it is unlikely to present any problems. Apples, pears and peaches contain considerably more xylitol which may present problems for some.

Ok, so it probably wasn't the xylitol. I made some 'yam'/jelly from the juice, and I got very bad stomach pain. Like I get when I eat fructose. But I thought the fructose:glucose ratio is less than 1 in berries?

Last week I tried peaches (pureed) and that seemed to go pretty well. I did not have much more stomach pain than usual, perhaps a tiny bit nausea...

Pff, I really don't understand much of my IBS! I guess it's just trial and error with most food..

Interesting! I make jelly from a mixture of frozen berries composed of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Also, I make a juice concentrate from it to use on oatmeal and in sauces. I have never had problems. However, I do have to be careful to make sure all of the pulp is removed. Berries pulp and seeds are a big problem for me.

You are fortunate that peaches are okay for you. While it does not have excess fructose like most stone fruits it contains sorbitol and some other sugar alcohols which can be a problem for some.

Yea - while there are some good guidelines but there is also a lot of trial and error involved too.
