Yea - fructose - the trigger in HFCS is interesting. In large enough amounts it produces IBS-like symptoms in almost everyone. The measured range of tolerance is quite wide. It ranges from below 5 grams (a bit more than a teaspoon) to more than 50 grams. The average soft drink contains 20-30 grams of HFCS.

The amount of HFCS in most cereals and sauces is probably not a problem for a large part of the IBS population. There is probably less than a teaspoon of HFCS in most single servings. On the other hand HFCS and carbonation in soft drinks are a problem for very many IBS suffers. Personally I can drink carbonated water with no difficulty but I cannot handle 1 gram of fructose in a single dose.

I find it interesting how wide the tolerances of individuals on this board are to the various triggers. Some of the foods that some stable people eat would put me in the hospital. On the other hand my tolerance for other triggers is higher. IBS seems like an endless balancing act
