Some fruits are high in natural sorbitol.

This is one portion from one of the several articles I have read on the subject.

"BLOATING SUGARS
Some fruits contain the sugar sorbitol, which if consumed in excess can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea. The fruit highest in sorbitol is the prune (thus the laxative effect), followed by pears, then cherries. Peaches and apples contain a tiny bit of sorbitol. Some candies are sweetened with sorbitol. Citrus fruits contain no sorbitol."

Most people think of it as only an aritifial sweetner, but it does also occur naturally in fruits.
