Hi Kristin - With fructose, quantity is often key. There is such a small amount of it in things like English muffins, breads, cereals, etc. and on top of that you're getting a soluble fiber basis, that it's not likely to cause problems. There are some folks who are very fructose intolerant (and actually this can be a separate thing from IBS). If you're tolerating the foods just fine, don't worry about it. It's more of a problem in things like bottled drinks, where high fructose corn syrup is one of the main ingredients.
Best,
Heather
