Sorry, Syl, but it sure seemed patronizing to me, too.

Before dragging out the different articles/studies, the general consensus was that people w/ IBS should be careful when consuming fructose, and that some people may be much less tolerant of fructose than others.

And now that we've all read the studies, the general consensus is that people w/ IBS should be careful when consuming fructose, and that some people may be much less tolerant of fructose than others.

There are all kinds of studies you can find on different aspects of IBS triggers -- including the whole fructose debacle. However, none of these studies are large enough or convincing enough or even properly-scientifically-conducted-enough to really be "proof" -- or no one would be debating it in the first place. While it is certainly interesting to discuss what new study results might mean, it really isn't going to change anything about the diet. Red meat will still be tough to digest -- caffeine will continue to irritate the gut.

I just don't find using Google to find different Internet articles to be "the science of IBS". It's misleading to try and represent something absolutely when you've only got iffy studies with small sample sizes.
