Paraphrased from Heather's "The First Year - IBS":

Fruit juices are a problem for IBSers because of the fructose, which can cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea. You can get a lot of fructose down very quickly by drinking juice, whereas with the whole fruit you can't get as much fructose down as fast.

In addition, oranges are acidic, which can cause both upper and lower GI distress.

Heather says to treat fruit juices and acidic fruits as you would insoluble fiber - consume carefully, in smaller quantities and with soluble fiber.

HTH.
