Question for Heather

Heather,

I understand that artificial sweetners are very hard to digest (sorbitol, HFCS)... but since Splenda is a natural derivative of sugar (sucralose), is it still pretty shaky to use with IBS?

Also, I am pretty sure I am frutose intolerant... honey definitely doesn't agree with me, and I always have severe stomach pains after eating fruit (tons of bloating ) Actually, I'm SURE I am fructose intolerant...

I know fructose is a natural sugar in fruits, so this is probably a stupid question, but are there any fruits that are particularly low in fructose-- and which fruits do you recommend? (Are papaya bad, I just bought some for soothing... )

Thanks so much for all your help, advice, and information

luvins,

Sarah

PS-- The latest studies relating IBS and fructose intolerance were done at the university I attend... how exciting!! I'm almost tempted to see if they need any subjects for further testing *lol* j/k
