They do contain some sorbitol. However, if you are not having difficulty with peaches which also have sorbitol then it is possible they could be safe for you. I don't recall how you do with insoluble fiber. The cherry skins are high in insoluble fiber. -------------------- 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: cherry's dark or sweet?       #365344 - 06/30/11 01:33 PM Edit Reply Quote Susie1985 Reged: 05/04/11 Posts: 211 I have trouble with fructose but do really well with sorbitol. I eat cherries all the time, sometimes sweet sometimes dark. According to this link: http://huhs.harvard.edu/assets/File/OurServices/Service_Nutrition_Fiber.pdf they have roughly equal SF and IF. Regardless I have eaten them on their own and have had no problems and I do normally have problems with excess IF per meal, so I think that Harvard link must be accurate regarding this. -------------------- now: stable through EFI+FODMAP dieting (no lactose/no fructose/some fructans and some polyols) before: IBS-D(pseudo-diarrhoea), bloating, often unbearable pain esp from too much fat: Apr 2007- Dec 2010 FODMAPs: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/072710p30.shtml [I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
