This is what Heather says about juices in her book.

"Fructose, a fruit sugar, can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea. Fruit juices, particularly apple and grape are often sky high in fructose and even more problematic than whole fresh fruit. So treat juices as you would insoluble fibre and drink them carefully, with soluble fibre foods".

I know it's hard to think of cutting them out but it really is better not having those awful pains. As well as water you can drink lots of herbal teas (hot or cold), there are also some nice drinks recipes in Eating for IBS ( I love the peachy lemonade).

Plain cranberry juice is the safest juice and I would still drink it with a meal high in SF.

Hope this helped.
