I don't know if there's a test for fructose sensitivity. There have been several threads here recently where people who are more knowledgeable than I ---are discussing fructose.
For me, I have just noticed the association between eating fruit and getting terribly bloated and gassy from it. This has been going on since 1981. It has gotten worse since I've gotten older, too. I used to be able to eat fruit now and then, as long as I ate it totally by itself--didn't mix it with any other foods.
I've been trying to add fruit back--since starting with Heather's IBS diet--a half banana or 3-4 strawberries (from our garden). But even that seems to cause bloat and gas. It's hardly worth it. I just can't figure out a way to eat fruits that doesn't cause me trouble.
I definitely can't eat oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes or raisins, prunes, pears, apples, apricots--even blended, peeled or pureed. I use lemon and lime juice for flavoring OK. I love fresh figs, and haven't given them up yet.
