You are correct again. It does not affect everyone and I have never claimed it did. I have claimed it does affect a significant number of IBS suffers - about 1 in 3.
While fructose in not a whole food is occurs in high amounts in many foods for example honey and many fruits and juices. It really cannot hurt a person to eliminate if from their diet and see if they become more stable.
It is amazing how much commotion this topic has created whereas when others post claims that lean red meat which is on the list is not a trigger or that soy which isn't on the list is a trigger they generate relatively little discussion. It seems that triggers can be an individual thing. Oh well - I guess eventually this topic will run out of steam too
