Quote: no matter how much soluble fiber you eat with a high fructose fruit or its juice or how much fiber there is in the fruit it will not buffer the effects of fructose for IBS suffers that are fructose malabsorbers.
but you are lumping IBS with fructose malabsorption and they are not the same. Not everyone with IBS has problems with fructose in foods. It is one thing to rule out, as it is important to rule out GI, but you are confusing people by making it sound like IBS can be cured by avoiding fructose. If someone has to additionally avoid gluten, soy or fructose that is a personal thing and not inclusive of IBS.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
