Re: question about ketchup and HFCS       12/02/06 08:22 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) My understanding is that the only thing bad about HFCS as far as IBS is concerned is the fructose. So as long as you're not super sensitive to fructose you just need to be reasonable about the total amount of fructose you consume. I avoid HFCS when I can because I don't see any reason to add something non-nutritious to my fructose load. However, I use ketchup - and other condiments - with HFCS figuring the amount is going to be small. I avoid it more strictly in things like bread, applesauce, and so on - items I'm going to be eating regularly and in larger quantities. When I first started out on the EFI Diet, I was much stricter about avoiding HFCS - if something had it, I didn't go near it. Now that my gut is much calmer my philosophy is to avoid it when reasonably possible but not to make myself nuts over it.
